Dema and Juan kept watch long enough to hear the commotion, then they went back to the Jeep and drove to Hermosillo for some food and rest. That night they returned, and again visited the compound in coyote form.

The new perimeter guards were being more watchful, but still the two coyotes eluded them with ease. When they approached the shed and saw a guard by the door, Dema ducked out of sight but Juan stepped into the open and made a low chuffing sound in his throat.

The guard looked his way, startled, and shouted "Hey!" Juan turned and loped casually away. The guard started running after him, and Juan led him away from the shed. The other guards joined in the chase.

When they went out of sight behind another building, Dema stepped out of the shadows, opened the locks, and slipped inside the shed. She did a fair job of duplicating the havoc the two of them had wreaked the night before.

It did not take long, and Dema headed for the wall. Juan stopped his game of pausing to let the guards catch sight of him, slipped into the shadows, and quickly joined her. Soon they were back on the hilltop with Pup.
