Paige Carter Season 1—Episode 7 “Do you think he knows?” Paige asked Sean. “I don’t know how he could,” Sean whispered back. “But he has to come out sometime.” “Did the news report the road closure?” she pressed. “This is a subdivision, not a main thoroughfare. Why would they?” Sean countered. “Now be quiet. I think I heard something.” Paige scowled but turned to focus on the house. Either the guy knew and was hunkering down to wait them out or he was up to something. She glanced through the trees just in time to see a tiny trap door open and a man climb cautiously from the opening. He gently closed the door and began to run. “That’s him!” Paige yelled as she jumped to her feet and began to chase after the fleeing suspect. It took a minute for Sean to figure it all out, then he too gave chase. The three of them darted through the forest, bounding over fallen tree trunks and the occasional rock. Sean berated himself for not considering the guy might have an escape plan. Yeah, they were in a subdivision, but the guy’s house butted up against the National Forest. He could build anything out there and nobody would ever know... they’d never even consider it.
Paige was slowly closing in on her prey. She was not going to lose him, no matter what happened she would not lose this guy. If she did, he’d be in the wind and they’d never catch up to him. She flew over a log, dodged a branch he had flipped in an attempt to slow her down and bounded over a large boulder. Where in the world was this man going? She figured it out mere seconds before he vaulted over a cliff and plummeted into a large river. Paige followed without a second thought. Now they were both swimming with the current, hoping to gain the slightest advantage. Him to escape, her to capture. Paige’s eyes grew wide when she realized they were approaching a waterfall. It wasn’t huge, but Griffin was obviously afraid of the fall. He gripped a branch on the side of the bank and waited, clearly hoping Paige would tumble over the edge. Then, he could climb to safety and disappear. Well, she wouldn’t let that happen. She reached out, gripped a nearby branch and clung with all her might.
