Оглавление“Where’s the gun?” Sara said, anxiety rolling through her stomach.
“Outside in the wood container.”
The pounding continued.
Will grabbed a log from the woodpile by the fireplace and motioned for Sara to get behind him. But she was no weakling, and no matter what injuries she’d sustained, she wasn’t going to let Will fight this battle for her. He’d done enough.
Ignoring the pain of her injured wrist, she also grabbed a log and got on the other side of the door. If someone broke it down, he was going to get an unpleasant welcome.
The muffled sound of men talking on the other side of the door echoed through the thick wood. There were more than one of them? Not good. How had they found the isolated cabin? Then again, Bill had found it easily enough.
Another knock made her squeeze the wood so tight a sliver edged its way into her forefinger.
“Will? Will, you in there?” a male voice called.
“Nate?” Will dropped the log and reached out for the door.
Sara darted in front of him.
“Nate’s a friend of mine, a cop,” Will said. “It’s okay.”
She didn’t step out of his way. She trusted Will but didn’t trust the situation. It was too much of a coincidence that Will’s friend happened to be hiking nearby.
“Sara, it’s okay,” Will said, touching her shoulder. “Trust me.”
Maybe it was his gentle tone, or the sincerity of his rich green eyes that eased her worry. With a nod, she stepped aside, but didn’t drop the log.
