Оглавление“Stop right there!”
Sutter! Relief swept through Catherine’s limbs. He would save her. But the killer jerked toward the sound and fired off several rounds.
Catherine scrambled to her feet and charged. She hit his midsection. They stumbled backward. His hand snaked around her throat.
“Drop the weapon!” Sutter yelled.
Her attacker swung her around in front of him like a shield. He shoved the gun against her temple.
“Take it easy,” Sutter urged. “Drop the weapon and let her go.”
Instead, the man lifted Catherine up high and tossed her. She hit the ground hard, landing on her wrist.
The man had the gun pointed at her again.
She started crawling toward Sutter. If she could just reach him…
Gunshots drowned out her labored breathing. Catherine ducked low and covered her head with her hands, certain she would be dead soon. But someone dove toward her.
Sutter.
He tucked her beneath his body and returned the killer’s fire, the noise deafening as bullets landed all around.
