Chapter 23: Hidden Canyon
In reply to Daniel Knight (msg # 23):
Tracy remained quiet for a moment, considering his response to the young Knight. While the investigator had been encouraged by their progress, his experiences in this field made him wary of believing he neared the end of an inquiry. You never know what waits around the next bend, whether it be the young Elizabeth Knight you seek, yet another clue, or the realization that you've been following the wrong path the whole time.
However, he didn't want to discourage Daniel. They were seeking his sister after all. Now speaking, he chose his words carefully.
"As far as how close we are to finding your sister, it is difficult to tell. I prefer to simply follow the evidence until the trail ends, rather than think about how much more trail remains. I think it keeps my mind the clearest and lets me do my best work." He paused a moment.
"That being said, we've definitely found some good leads the last couple of days. It is certain that someone leading cattle camped here very recently, and it could very well have been our targets. It seems to me that we're likely on the right track to finding Elizabeth, as long as we keep up our focus on the task at hand."
Still listening for a reply from Daniel, Tracy walked toward the sheltered grove where the cattle may have been kept recently. He wondered if any evidence of the cattle's next move could be found.
