Оглавление“When did you notice this damage?” Adam asked.
“What damage? What are you talking about?”
Grasping Sara’s shoulders, he turned her in place, still keeping them within the shelter of the broad trunk. “This. See the hole?”
“We have worse things to worry about than a wormhole in a sycamore, Adam.”
He was shaking his head and glancing from side to side as if searching for someone or something. Finally, he said, “This is no wormhole, Sara. The damage is fresh. And judging by the wood that’s been displaced, the hole was probably made by a rifle bullet.”
“Why would anybody go deer hunting in town?”
When he placed both hands on the tree, trapping her, covering her, she began to feel surrounded even though he was only one man.
Adam raised his clear visor and leaned in to bring his lips closer to her ear.
Sara was so nervous, so unhinged by his nearness she almost missed hearing him say, “They weren’t shooting at whitetails, Sara. They were shooting at you.”
