Оглавление“You don’t have to be brave for me, Claire.”
Claire glared at Adam. “I wasn’t trying to be brave. I thought I could do it.”
He quirked an eyebrow and smiled. “Whatever you say.”
Before he could take a step out of the cabin, a rush of air exploded next to his head, and wood splintered on the door facing. Claire screamed and buried her head in his shoulder as he staggered backward and kicked the door closed.
Another bullet struck the front door, and Adam fell to the floor on top of Claire. He heard her sob and felt her body tremble as he continued to shield her from the gunfire that shattered the cabin windows and streaked over their heads.
Adam had never felt so helpless in his life, but there was no way he could make it outside to confront their attackers without being shot down. His mind raced to find a solution as the barrage grew heavier, but nothing came to mind.
He and Claire were at the mercy of someone who wanted them dead, and they might very well succeed at their mission.
All he could do at the moment was lie still and try to protect Claire and hope that no stray bullet found its mark.
