Rick Entwhistle and Rhonda Satterfield, are ensnared in the search.

    Jerry Kalman

    Hot steamy stuff is the forte of JL Kaye, author of “Cascade Nights”, "Friendly Fire" and the short story "Nanoelf of the Roses". Kaye also has published another erotic novel “Haunting Experiences” and Free Radicals is nearly ready for publishing as an eBook in 2011. Other than the fractured fairy tale about the nanoelf, Kaye’s erotica centers on the sometimes private lifestyles of professionals who want more from romances than kiss-and-not-tell. In 2011, JL Kaye expects a fourth work consisting of a broad collection of sci-fi, western and romantic short stories to be published as an eBook.J. L. Kaye lives north of San Diego.

      California Park Ranger Rick Entwhistle stood by his green government issue SUV and watched the middle-aged couple chase each other through the ghost town. The woman disappeared into the old saloon with the man a few steps behind her. Their laughter carried back and Rick chuckled at the spirit they showed. Moments later the two emerged and she chased her partner down the empty street toward deserted mines at the other end of town.

      Entwhistle watched them with the bemused smile parents show over-enthusiastic children and turned back to see a dust plume grow larger as the tour bus came east from the main highway that flanked the Sierra foothills. Earlier that day he received an alert from district headquarters that the bus stopped off; wanted to tour Bodie around noon, and planned to stay only an hour or so.

      Can you be there, Rick?

      Sure. Nothing else to do here this time of the year, anyway.

      As the dust cloud loomed larger, the couple on the chase slowed down, stopped their frolic and drifted back and alongside Entwhistle.

      Harley Joe asked: Another one, Rick?

      Rick nodded without making eye-contact.

      Goody. Aida Cuel lifted her skirts and danced a jig around the two men.

      Aida, settle down, Rick said. It’s a tour bus with old folks.

      She stopped and pouted. Not them young groups from Europe?

      Nope, Rick replied. All of them went home a month ago.

      Motorcyclists? Harley Joe Babson asked. Expectation faded the longer Rick made him wait for a reply.

      Not this time.

      Harley, all the fun’s going out of this place, Aida said. Told you we should have gone a long time ago. All we been seeing is families and their dogs that don’t like us, these old-geezer tours and every now and then Mexicans in a bus looking for fields to pick. They see none here; turn around, and go on up to Bridgeport.

      It’s better than the winter, Aida. No one comes here when snow starts to fall, Harley Joe said.

      Yeah, Rick here and his kind close the place down so no one except hunters come through.

      Some of them is fun, Harley Joe said.

      More than old Ranger Rick here. Aida tried to nudge the ranger.

      Rick stepped forward to greet the bus, which made its slow way past the
