Russ boarded the ferry to Hiddekel Island, his large duffel bag over one shoulder, and the letter from Ripper in his hand. Since Russell had left the army, he'd been wandering around the United States, without direction. Until Giles' letter caught up with him in San Diego.
He hadn't seen Ripper in decades. They'd been nearly inseparable in grammar school. Then everything changed when Russell's parents were killed and he was sent to the military academy. They'd kept in touch as often as possible, writing long letters to each other. It had been harder when he entered active service. The Army had Russell deployed in Afghanistan, then other countries in the Middle East on errands that were so secret, he still couldn't talk about them. When he'd been discharged, Russ found out that Giles had been sent to the US by the Watchers. He sent his old friend a postcard from San Diego. Two days later, the letter came inviting him to come to Hiddekel Island to stay with him. That was an opportunity to reconnect with Ripper that Russ couldn't pass up.
So here he was, riding the ferry to the island. The air was so much cleaner out here than in California. The scent of the salt air instead of exhaust fumes from cars was a welcome change. He stood at the observation rail at the bow and watched the island come closer. It was covered with acres of emerald green forest. As Giles said, the perfect place for a world-weary werewolf to cool his heels. And he was very much looking forward to getting reaquainted with his old friend.
