The Hunter, The Dragon And The Smokey Mountain Angel
Chapter 31

Julia and Noah road on Light Reader but Martha stayed tucked in his claws as they flew back to the mountain. Several burning vehicles surrounded Jerry’s smoking Cadillac. They were all in the parking lot next to where the mining trailer had been. Jerry, Andrew, Frank and the Sheriff ended their argument with the Air Force MPs when they saw Light Reader coming. The dragon landed on the mountainside just above them and Julia took Noah in her arms and floated down to the ground next to Andrew.

Andrew bent down, picked Noah up and gave him a big hug. He said, “We’ve been looking for you everywhere boy.” Then he reached out with one arm and pulled Julia close to him. He gave her a long kiss, paused and looked toward the dragon on the mountain.

Light Reader’s gem crusted scales reflected the last rays of the day in a shower of tiny rainbows. He opened his huge wings, adjusted Martha’s body in his claws and let his weight resettle. Then he looked at Andrew.

Andrew swallowed hard and said, “So, what are we goanna do with those two?”
