We had sent Lana to meet the others as they were due any moment. Meanwhile,
Mazzie and I with Misty’s help trekked through the woods to start taking out the
guards at the front of the property. Mazzie and I looked at each other ready to make
our move.
“You’re sure you can do this? Taking a life isn’t something easy,” Mazzie asked in a
whisper.
“I’ve taken a life before, it’s not something I’m proud of, but the alternative is not
fathomable; I can do it,” I said. She looked at me surprised, I hadn’t told a soul
about it, Misty had said she knew what I did, she had never brought it up in all the
years we had been friends. She clearly wasn’t troubled by it. I’d done it to keep her
and Cricket safe. Mazzie just nodded as I ran my fingers through my hair and
shrugged out of Jake’s jacket to pull my tee shirt over my head. I had already done
up my face, the goth look making me unrecognizable to these men who had never
seen me up close and personal. I passed her Ole Betty and started walking up the
road with a gun tucked in the back of my jeans. Industrial zip ties tucked into my
jacket pockets, ones we had grabbed at the trucker’s stop we had gassed up at.
As I made my approach I relaxed my body and let my hips sway. I had to lure them

“My bike broke down a few miles from here and my cell is dead, I’ve been walking
for miles and I haven’t seen a soul, I just need to borrow a cell so I can have my
brother come get me.” I said, holding my hands up at the sight of their guns. They
looked at each other and shrugged.
“What do I get in return?” the blonde asked ruefully dangling a cell in the air. I
pretended to bite my lip and think about it.
“Well I suppose a favor for a favor sounds fair enough,” I said batting my lashes, I
even put the fake ones on for effect. The guns dropped to their sides.
“You sure about this Randy?” the guy with a shaved head asked.
“Yeah, I’m board as fuck, all the other guys are playing with that guy and we got
stuck out here.” His gaze then landed back on mine.
