Chapter 16 - The Cabin Wasn’t Random

Mara revealed something she had avoided telling him.

“This cabin belonged to Helen.”

Jonah stared.

“What?”

“She rented it every winter.”

“You knew her?”

“Not well.”

Mara worked as a volunteer ranger.

Helen had visited Blackwood for years.

Studying the station indirectly.

Preparing.

The cabin contained equipment hidden beneath the floorboards.

Mara found a lockbox.

Inside were notebooks.

Maps.

And one handwritten instruction:

IF SOMEONE RETURNS FROM STATION NINE, DO NOT LET THEM SLEEP UNTIL YOU KNOW WHICH ONE CAME BACK.

Jonah read it twice.

Then looked at Mara.

She slowly backed away.

“Jonah…”

“What?”

May you like

“How do I know you’re Jonah?”
