Читать книгу Gunfire On The Ranch - Delores Fossen - Страница 3

From the moment they’d come back to the ranch, Theo had known an attack was possible. Likely, even.

But it still gave him an adrenaline spike to see that weapon now pointed at Gabriel’s house.

Ivy’s breathing was already way too fast, and Theo considered trying to do something to help her level it. But if he pulled her into his arms now, it would definitely be a distraction, and he needed to keep his attention on the rifle.

It was already dark, but there was enough of a moon to see the light glint off the barrel. Enough to see, too, when the barrel shifted just a little, and Theo spotted the scope on it.

“A shot from there would be able to make it here,” she said.

It wasn’t a question. She knew it could. But he hated to hear the slight tremble in her voice.

Theo watched as the barrel shifted again, and he steeled himself for what he figured would come next. He didn’t have to wait long.

The gunman fired.
