Chapter 36: Get With The Program

Trey stopped and whirled on her. “Maybe you don’t know me anymore.”

“He’s a different person than you remember,” Greg said.

Trey used that moment to grab Greg and try to take him down. As if he’d anticipated it, Greg pulled out his gun and held Mallory close to him. “One bullet, and she’s gone.”

Trey didn’t bother to pull out his weapon. “I’m not armed.”

“Yeah, right,” said Greg. “We’re going to walk through that door. It goes to the outside.”

Trey walked where he indicated. Mallory dragged her feet as Greg yanked her along.

“Do what he asks, Mal. He has all the cards.”

When they reached the door, Greg hit Trey with the butt of his gun and knocked him unconscious. “You’re knight is now gone.”
