"Run! Little lambs, run!"

"Hold on to me. Don't let go!"
James was pulling Sophie forward, but she could feel him slowing down.

"James!" Sophie cried out, and by then, the mercenaries had caught up.
Sophie fiercely looked back, supporting James up, and said coldly, "Did Odie send you?"
The mercenaries exchanged glances. They didn't speak, but their expressions gave Sophie her answer.
Facing the mercenaries with their guns, Sophie managed to steady her voice. "Odie likes to play the hunter and the prey game. I'm his prey. James has nothing to do with this. Let him go."
"Sophie!" James, fighting through the pain, clenched his teeth and angrily muttered, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
