Though horrified, Vanderwarf’s instincts and training kicked in. She climbed to her feet and ran toward the others. Glass exploded again as a second body emerged from the house. It was a man. Nearly naked. His body charged like a killing machine on speed. But his face was twisted with agony. The expression locked solid as Austin fired a second shot, piercing the man’s brain and sending him to the ground.
The silence that followed lasted only a moment.
Voices—a sea of them—rose up in the distance.
“The woods,” Austin growled. “Now!”
There was no pause. No looking back.
They ran like prey.
Like the man killed in the driveway the night before.
The same man who followed them now.
Unlike the others, he looked back, eyeing the bodies on the grass—watching their eyes—and then followed the group into the darkness of the dead woods.
