Chapter One

...In the theory, a loss...

...She was running in the rain; along the L.A. Freeway.  ...It was usually, rainy in the late-Winter in California.  She was weighing less than 149 lbs, 5' 8"; tall for her-size.  Lean, mostly-muscle a former-National Guard-Reserves soldier; ran in the Los Angeles marathon, every year...  An 'Iron-man'-aficionado...  She usually, ran eight-miles every-morning before court-details, trial-protocol and corroberative-work.  ...She was 'Head-attache'; which often meant she-had many responsibilities and duties.

She was forceful and definitely, epitomized: second, in a class of 175 in 2006...  A native-American of the tribe of 'Cherokee' under her once -Chieftain grand-father which meant the line of 'Standing-Bear' would be passed-on to her-son, unborn.  Right now she was devoted to her-job.  ...It was that her-heritage, gave coveted-'strength' to her-family.  ...Bo Ron Littlehorse, mother Sarah, and her three-siblings all, growing-up with duty, discipline, and an indubitable mental dutiful-strength and a 'sense' of empowerment.

...As her-career, talent and life came  espouse; she was a true-'warrioress'.  ...From the times of her-childhood; spent-on the reservation, at a preparatory-school in North-Hollywood, to a stand-out classmate by '04 at Syracuse University...  She proved to be a virtuous, assertive and self-rightfully, disciplined-person...  An apparent-ingenue coming to pull all her 'strings' together in-life.  With the 'blessings' of her-mother and father, recognizing and showing, a belonging with those she-knew and loved.

...A full-'constellation' of dedicated-addendums; by a foster, fortune and forging.   Prey, was to become an innate-devotee, and an 'impressario'...   Uncle Bo Jon, had been an implicate-part of her extensive-family.  In fact, he was Prey's 'idol'.  ...On special-occasions; trips to Nevada, and visits by her favorite-kin, he was more than willing to oblige.

With every get-together he imparted, story-told, and gave a 'wisdom' to all who were there.  Although, he would never be a Chieftain, he had a certain-'majestic', about him...  So with times, tales, and a little-drama and excitement; they grew close and admiring of each-other.  Prey Ophelia Littlehorse was the oldest...  And with this-lead, she learned to be the most-astute, and self-assured...  In youth, her-bedroom was like a temple of Little-horse's self-confidence...  And being the eldest, she could be the most head-strong, and clever.  By seven years old, she and her-father went hunting-up in the California Hills for Coyotes.  She managed to kill three-on her first time at it.

She used a .22 rifle that she called 'Gentle Ben', and Ben could knock an eye out of a 'Dreary'-dog at 600-yards...  After her first rifle-gun, she'd read books and magazines of all-kinds of weaponry.  Her most favorite-pistol was the Berretta-460, a hand-gun more precise and accurately, powerful than she'd ever heard-of...  She was astonished at its accurate calculated-abilities.  You could aim-almost in any direction and expect to hit it within .066 cm...

But with time, guns became physical-ability; she'd watched as body-builders who were on the California beaches, with their muscular-physiques.  What really, intrigued and fascinated her was the great-intensity and feeling of endurance, with which each attained a physical- 'greatness'...   She would spend hours watching in-astonishment.  Later-on, her eighth-birthday, she received a horse to ride in California back-country.  ...A Pinto-mare, named 'Sonny'.  Prey-had a borne-intelligence, enthusiasm and athletic young-girl...

Her-parents thought the world of her, the many things she did, and what she became very accomplished and agile...   By age eight, she was a top-student in the eighth-grade Spelling Bee Regional Champ and a devout Native-member.  'Sonny', was a richly, pattern-coated 'war-horse'...  ...She was three years-old, out of a reservation-raised stock.  It was love at first-sight, she was easy to ride and immediately, she rode her 'bare-backed' in native-style.  Native rare-horses were bred to be alert, astute and tame.  A native was known to ride a Pinto for ten-days, with two-stops for water and grazing.  

Prey, knew many of the horsing-skills by seven, when she rode Sonny, they became as 'one'.  There were many gifts she received over the years, but pistols, and ponies, physical-strength and endurance; proved to stay in her-life.  Uncle Bo Jon loved to tell and instruct her in many of the laws and factors he learned over a mature-lifetime...  To her, he led an 'illustrious'-life.  She could listen to him for hours, and she had a special-bunk at his ranchhouse, the Secato S.  She became inspired, in her a learning and devoted due-diligence.

With B.J.'s commanding-hand, she was guided to be a 'disciple'.  B.J. wouldn't pick anyone else to take-on his-mantle...  He was known to exist with true-guidance,wisdom and strength; passed-down to an awaiting and capable-child.  Bo Ron knew early, they had an ability and potential in common.  That was sixteen-years ago.  And now, Prey was competent and professional.  After college, the armed-forces, and court assignments she was one of the best-legal investigators in the L.A. system.  Her uncle, long an investigator, attache and detective out-West, Prey was a big-city associate; after getting a Bachelor in Criminal Justice...  Bo Jon was the one to lay the diploma in her-hands.

He was proud of her, and she knew 'why'.  After a graduation-party, she was to finish her-stint as a Leuitanant in the National-Guard-Reserve.  By 23, she was assigned to Eastern Division of Los Angeles County.  She was no novice, she took it 'fast' and 'easy'...  Now, a three-year appointee, she had one of the largest-caseloads in the city.  ...Intricate and of implement, each case was to be settled in three-weeks.  ...Prey, had it done in eighteen-days, 'tops'.  If you had her-on the case, you were 'unlucky' to be a violator.

Rarely, had the law-breaker even gotten back-on the street.  The prosecutor usually, had the papers for the judge's decision in-hand...  Many of the Court-entities knew of her-prowess as a virtuous and preeminent-law-enforcer.  Bo Jon, once sat-in on one of her court-assignments, he was surprised at how swiftly a decision came; she was commanding, even more than he.  He even thought it was 'outrageous' that she could  actually, act with such 'focus' and 'clarity'.  He told her he was so very, 'proud'.

Her-skill at legal-sleuthing-only increased-with time.  She owned a 6-room apartment in the upper East-side.  ...It was famous for detective novels.  But Prey was no run-of-the-mill, 'flat-foot'.  Although, she extolled in the prime-virtues; she was as devoted as any prime-CSI hero...  And she excelled at critical-analysis...  Redeemed and dedicated, she was able to 'uncover' the clues and detailing-precepts for the job.  By the end of her second-year; she was honored for her-duties as a court associate, with the L.A. City's 'Golden-shield' in honored-services...

...As her-accomplishments grew, she became: '...a credible and relied-upon associate'...  And now, she was ready for the day.  She walked-into the court dressed-in a very professional 'J-Crew' suit, her-hair was cut-cropped close to her-face and allowed to fall along her-cheeks.  She was very-professional; Gucci stylish-shoes and carried a shoulder strapped-laptop attache-portfolio case.  ..While not in court, she wore a special body-suit, Lady-Chanel hiking-boots, with reinforced uppers, a shoulder-holstered Berretta -228B and two-knives; a Native-hunting knife and 8" Styletto.

She was meaning 'business'; while at-court, in the office, or at functions.  But in-theater, she was one to be reckoned-with.  She'd spent the better part of the morning, processing and executing court-protocol.  She was 'civil', alert and precise-in seeing her-caseload-through.  Prey's family resided in Carlsbad, CA, on a private-estate run by her one-time construction businessman-father...  A 20-acre property, where Bo Ron and Sarah Little-horse, had lived for 8-years.     Prey, had lived-on her own at 18, since leaving for college.   Bo Ron was raised on the Northern-Nevada reservation as a tribal native-son of Chief Chere 'Standing-Bear' Littlehorse.  ...His brother, Bo Jon left with the approval of their-father to an area high-school, then went on to the Marines and then UNLV...  He did so well, he became an excellent-detective in central-Nevada and then the West-wide. Bo Jon was given the native name of 'Toujo' meaning; 'one who knows 'thought''...  Bo Ron was given the name: 'Wie-low', one who bends with sheep'.  His dad called him 'Willost', when he was a boy...
