The Draw

Tom finds two sets of human footprints coming off the road going into the draw and tracks them. Then he finds sheep footprints. The human footprints are following and spread ten feet apart. Pinto, Thelma, and Louise are being hunted. Tom tracks through the draw, up the hills, back toward the river and into tamarisk. The prints are three to four days old. When and where Tom heard the gunshot. Half a mile of tracking more and the human prints cut back to the road, they don't sink any further into the sand so they are not carrying the extra weight of a dead sheep. At the road the human tracks enter a vehicle. All three of the sheep prints go deep into the tamarisk. There is no blood trail. Three days ago, they are alive.
