Sarah dashed down another hallway. John followed close behind as the sound of the men’s shoes clumping on the floor seemed to get closer.

“Yes. Go!”

Outside, he followed Sarah around the closest corner and to the back of a brick building.

“There.” He pointed across the lot. “Behind the evergreens.”

They ducked behind the trees. A small break afforded a protected view of a portion of the parking lot. John leaned forward. Through the needles, he watched a car cruise by. Their pursuers scanned both sides of the parking lot, but as far as John could tell, they didn’t have any idea where he and Sarah had gone.

Sarah was trembling, and he took her hand to steady her as he motioned for her to get down. But just as he lowered himself to his knees next to her, the vehicle stopped directly in front of their hiding place.
