[i]$1,500 for a charity date with the park ranger? In this town?[/i]

From the back, Kat could see the two bidders, a guy with another guy, and a woman. The look that woman gave the man might have been a challenge. Fortunately, the man didn't try to top her bid. Still, he looked Russian, as did the older man beside him.

Kat glanced around, half-expecting Liam Neeson to pop up. From the looks she was seeing, others were shocked by the big bids too. Just what sort of things were going on here?

Was this why Uncle Oskar put her here? To watch what went on in this town? And why so much interest in the park ranger?

Clearly, she needed to reach out to Uncle Oskar and ask him to bring some more art supplies with him - whenever he was planning to show up. 

Joining them would let her know what was going on quickly, but who knew what sort of danger she faced?
