Belle is supposed to meet her boyfriend, Les, in Red Rock Canyon. She has just moved to Montana, and he said he must show her something. Her life depends on it. And only he can show it to her. She waits impatiently by the rushing stream gushing over red rocks, almost mesmerized by the power of the water. Something is etched in one of the rocks only inches above the stream. It is the small stick figure of a man. What does it mean? Suddenly a gun fires. A bullet ricochets off the rocks and almost hits her. She falls to the rocks. Belle can only conclude that she wasn’t supposed to see it. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
