At some point, Little realized that the girl was leading her back to the border, and halted abruptly after they had gone perhaps a hundred paces. The little bastard couldn't have been more than a few months old, and yet she had the scheming mind of someone far older than herself.

So you'll take me to the nearest cache right now, and I'll leave you and your pack alone." The latter was true, after this Little didn't want anything else to do with them; this was getting far too messy far too fast.
