Once There Were Wolves

In a flashback to Alaska, Inti comes home from her station in Denali and finds Gus and his friends drinking. They are rowdy as usual, and Inti and Aggie are afraid of them. Inti pretends to enjoy the party even though she is terrified of what might happen. She manages to find Aggie and convinces her to go upstairs so they can lock themselves in Inti’s bedroom. As they are about to go, Gus finds Aggie and stops her. Inti goes upstairs alone and locks herself in her room. She calls the police to make a noise complaint, hoping police presence will deter Gus from whatever he is about to do, but it does not work.

Gus stomps on Inti’s phone to keep her from calling again. None of the men will help, and they do not respond when Inti tells them that Gus is about to hurt Aggie. She pounds on the door where Gus and his cousin James have dragged Aggie, who is barely conscious.

Inti witnesses them rape Aggie until she bleeds and passes out. When they are finished, James leaves and Gus sits there in a daze. Inti calls an ambulance. She has felt all of Aggie’s suffering and is traumatized.
