Tall lodgepole pines stood like giant sentinels on the rocky hillside, their thick-needled branches moving slightly in a hushed stillness. A small porch lamp sent a radius of light down the , front steps of the house, vaguely illuminating the far corners of the front porch but too feeble to reach the side of the house, where a late-model Ford was parked. A crunch of hurried footsteps on the gravel broke the night s stillness. A pair of gloved hands reached out and slowly and silently lifted the hood of the car. Muffled sounds of labored breathing and scraping metal were carried away on the soft night breeze. A moment later, retreating footsteps and a satisfied sigh left a hushed silence on the hillside. There, it was done. And no one the wiser.
