FIVE

She screamed again.

And wanted to keep on screaming.

She couldn’t take much more of this.

She’d run from her hiding place when she’d seen Zach make his own move from the tree, firing his weapon. For her part, she’d been trying to draw the shooter away from him when she’d noticed the man taking aim at Zach. She simply couldn’t let that happen. She could see the shooter from where she’d been hiding, but apparently Zach couldn’t see him while he tried for the other one.

Olivia didn’t have a firearm so she only had one option.

Draw the shooter’s attention away from Zach.

By moving the bushes, she’d given herself away. It had been a risk she’d been willing to take in order to give Zach a chance. Besides, if the shooter had taken him out, then Olivia would be left with no way to defend herself.

That gave her an idea.

Since she needed a weapon, she could take the downed shooter’s rifle with the scope, along with any other weapons he had.

Olivia had been the one to run after the hunters in the first place. Her rash decision had caused this trouble. She’d gotten her and Zach into this. She would get them out, despite her promise to Zach to remain in that one spot. At the time, it made sense. But no longer.
