      Chapter 1 Hotel Whitehorse

      Jason Pohl was just leaving the city of Whitehorse heading north toward Carmacks, Canada, following the Yukon River when he first saw her. She was beautiful dressed in her deerskin clothes with her long black hair flowing in the fall breeze. She turned and looked directly at him then looked away again a little too quickly he thought. What a picture he had in his mind’s eye just as if he had photographed her. He would have if she had given him time but she was gone as quickly as she had come into view.

      He was driving a Dodge van which he had purchased in Vancouver. It was white with a green racing stripe and it had all of his belongings in the rear including a sleeping bag and extra clothes and various camping gear. He had paid cash for the used vehicle which appeared in good working order.

      He had come through places like Prince George, Iskut and Watson Lake on his route to Whitehorse which was not his destination. The truth was that he had no destination in mind. He was running away from not toward something.

      Jason knew he was not a normal human being although that is what he wanted most to be. First of all he was only 10 years old. I suspect that will require some explanation but for now let’s just accept that he is aging more than twice as fast as a normal person should. He looks to be about 25 years old and his mind is occupied with thoughts about the girl he had just seen. He made a quick decision to remain in Whitehorse at least over night. He felt safe here.

      He checked into the Hotel Whitehorse and paid the bill with cash. He had no credit cards and didn’t need any, he had plenty of cash. He had robbed a bank in a small village in Germany, his country of origin.

      Jason found the dining room off the hotel lobby and finding an empty table he sat and ordered a caribou steak with eggs. While he was eating his meal he saw her again. She came into the room with a very large man who looked to be older than her by at least 10 years. The girl looked to be in her early twenties. During the remainder of his dining experience she looked at him a couple times and smiled. She made sure that the man was not watching her when she eyed him briefly. She was definitely looking at him but did not want to be seen doing so. He thought this to be very mysterious.

      He slowed down his eating and remained in the room until the couple left. He wondered if they were man and wife. The man didn’t look old enough to be her father. So after they left he tried to get his bill paid in time to see where they went. He managed to see them go out the front door of the hotel and walk together down the street. He rushed to the front desk and asked if the
