flat as well, only it was at the far end of the canyon. Coming in on the road, you would be visible for at least a mile or more. Given the now fully risen moon, it was entirely possible they would be seen long before they got anywhere near the house itself. Their advantage was that there was no other way out of the canyon. The SUVs weren’t great off road, but they easily outclassed this guy if indeed he was in a van like Bridger said. And grudgingly, he had to admit Bridger might be a lot of things he couldn’t find out, but he was honest.
    So, he leaned back and willed the driver to go faster, while at the same time, he wondered what Bridger had planned for their quarry.

Chapter Four
     
     
    In the hall, Terry suddenly felt Charlie tugging at his mind. For a moment, he ignored him, but he suddenly became more insistent. Finally, he gave up.
    “What is it?”
    Charlie almost seemed as if he was out of breath. Which was impossible, as Charlie didn’t breathe. “He is moving this way. Now, I can definitely tell he is the one that is occupied. And his field is strong enough to make the Chrliti in him at least strong enough to influence him! Perhaps strongly!”
    Terry allowed himself to feel a slight rush of pride in connection with his guesswork. It saved the girl at least from that much. Now, though, came the hard part. If the creature inside this guy was running the show, covertly or not, he was also hooked in well enough to be able to boost him up much like Charlie could do for him, which meant that in a straight fight, this guy could be trouble. While Charlie could do the same for Terry, he would not take the chance as said earlier of forcing him up beyond certain limits. This one could and probably would turn this guy into a zombie if he had to in order to get away.
    The bad part about that was in doing so, he would probably plan to jump into Terry and then finish his grisly work on the girl with his body if Terry had the necessarily high bioelectric fields. What he didn’t know was that thanks to his unique arrangement with Charlie, he wouldn’t be able to. None of the Chrliti was able to infiltrate and occupy a body when that body was already occupied. And even so, there were some humans who were simply incompatible with the Chrliti experience. And they all shared the ability to know when a human was available or not.
    The trouble with Charlie and Terry’s bonding was that as near as they could figure out, Terry’s bioelectric fields were so strong, they not only trapped Charlie in him, they also blocked Charlie from others of his kind. While he could still detect them, they could not detect Charlie. He couldn’t even talk to them. Where the others of his kind could talk to each other over distances directly proportional to the level of energy their host produced, Charlie could not contact any of his people except when Terry was in direct contact with their hosts.
    Since this one had no idea Charlie was already there, he had no way of knowing that his only out lay with the girl in the other room. Terry knew that if it came down to it, he could protect her from being occupied simply by shielding her with his body as long as he could maintain contact with her. By merging his already occupied field with hers, the Chrliti would be out in the cold. Given their remote location and the fact their extremely short life spans, once they were ousted, the problem the creature presented would solve itself in a minute.
    Another reason to have this done before Benin and his people showed up. With them there, it gave the Chrliti a whole new set of options. And Terry had no desire to start this up again somewhere else.
    He felt the small pouch in the small of his back. Charlie and he had worked on that for nearly a year after their first adventure together with another of his kind. It was easy to make once Charlie thought about it. It was just a Taser with low power settings but minimally higher amperage, focused through a
