The voice on the other end of the line responded dryly.
Dean turned away from the frightened woman and hurriedly tied one end of the line to the back bumper of his Jeep.
Dean's Jeep was at the uphill end of the line of cluttered vehicles and Lydia Larkin was long gone by the time he was free to leave.
Dean tried to remember how Ryland had described the method of securing the other end of the line to the climber's body.
Fortunate for him it was then near enough to the end of the line that his fall wasn't far enough to kill him.
