Chapter 322

CARSON BRACED HER HANDS on the door leading into the tangerine colored submarine looking boat.

"No. No, leave me," she begged.

Kawa turned toward her. If she weren't more afraid of what would happen on the boat that look would have scared her.

"Get in here," he snarled and grabbed her.

"No," she wailed.

He yanked on her arm. She pitched forward going to her knees hard on the floor of the boat. The pain shooting up to her hip was worse now. Tears prickled her eyes.

She curled her legs under her. Could she run? If she was too hard to control would they leave her? Or would they kill her?

The remaining man climbed into the boat, leaving Kawa standing over her.

They were going to make her get in that thing.

A bang rang out, the sound of it echoing through her memory.

For a moment everyone paused.

Another blast of gunfire, closer this time, rang out.

A man yelled. Another called out, maybe for help.

The man at the front of the boat shouted something at Kawa who drew a gun.
