Chasing Fox Tails #95

Detective Rage and Patrolman Jones go to an ice skating rink in Seattle. Here they play catch the fox’s tail. One skater has the tail in his back pocket for others to take. Rage misses it so much Jones plans on a winter wonder land trip for them. Being a Seal, he plans an adventure in the snow. It takes days to pack for the trip. Rage needed some special cold weather gear just for her. It gets all mixed up with a Roy Roger’s movie, a tape measure, and the locked bathroom door. Finally, her cold weather gear is available.
The Colonel has a winter Seal training exercise planned and he allows the two of them to join in. Rage has to jump into a black hole before landing in the snow. Soon they set up camp with two tents, a large fire, and all looks good. The remainder of the winter exercise is several hundred miles away.
Wolves are out hunting elk and Jones must be careful not to lead them back to camp. Then a snowstorm hits and dumps on them another four feet. Next a cold blast from the north pole goes south into the USA. Temperatures may go to 78 below zero. To compound problems, there are intruders several miles away from their camp. They should not be there and no one seems to know what or why they are there.
The Colonel does bring the larger part of the exercise back to base before the absolute freezing temperatures occur. However, Rage and Jones will have to ride out the storm. Meanwhile, everyone is trying to figure out how to extract Jones and Rage after the cold temperatures rise a little. But the snow and temperatures keep falling. It freezes one thermometer at 74 below.
Rage and Jones are down to one zippered sleeping bag heated by solar batteries with days of no sunshine. How can the Colonel help these two with the cold, the intruders, and the wolves? Can Jones as a Seal figure a way out of this when all he has is solid water and the cold to work with?
