Christmas in Montana — Tirza Schaefer

CHRISTMAS IN MONTANA by Tirza Schaefer When Jett and Ace, two military men from different branches, meet one night before Christmas in a local bar in West Yellowstone, the two former friends who haven't seen each other in 13 years thought they'd have a quiet drink before going home again. Then Sutani comes in, and her head is bleeding profusely. While Ace looks after her wounds, Jett tries to pick her up. But the headstrong wolf woman has different plans. “Get back,” Sutani shrieked, but it was too late already. Vicky the wolf had just vomited into Ace's collar. “Oh my God, I am so sorry! Don't move, I'll get a towel and clean you up. I'm so sorry!” In her haste, Sutani hadn't closed the gate properly after passing through and Vicky bounded off after her. “Is it okay that the wolf is out of the cage?” Ace called, keeping his head unnaturally twisted and tilted to be as far away from the wolf vomit staining his neck as possible. “What do you mean out?” Sutani called from outside. “She's run after you,” he called back. “Oh shit! Double shit!” she yelled and ran off, past the cage and out of the wolf house, leaving Ace standing with wolf vomit dripping from his neck and slowly running deeper inside his shirt. He thought he could go into the kitchen area and clean himself up, but there was a wolf on the loose and if Vicky got out, someone might shoot her. Biting his teeth and thinking of the countless times in his career that had been equally smelly or worse because of body functions that were never mentioned when Seals were celebrated as the nation's heroes, as the best elite force in the entire world, he ran after Vicky and Sutani. “A bear tear, wolf vomit, at least it makes for some great stories out in the field,” he muttered as he ran.
