Part Two - Free Fire

As we venture into part two of this book, Joe learns more about the case that he is sent to help out on.  He also learns his place in all of this, at the very bottom and not very welcomed.  This part of the book is not very long and nothing really exciting happens other than the little hike him and his partner go out on.  They went to the ranger station that McCann checked in at before he went out that morning.  They look at the signature log and find some information that was not stated in the report and decide to take a hike out to see the crime scene.  With both on guard and aware that they could possibly be putting themselves in danger due to the fact that everyone is aware that this is an area that anyone can commit a crime and get away with it.  With that said, they come upon the area that the environmentalists were camping and come across a man and his shotgun, but what none of them know is that Joe's friend Nate was hanging in the balance.  The outcome was not very good, causing Joe's female partner who is a ranger in the park to be scared out of her mind and the shooter about killed.
