THIRTEEN

“CHANG! WHERE ARE YOU?”

Nowhere you can see, pal.

“Come on out! I just wanna play!”

Yeah, I highly doubt that.

“Don’t be shy! Come say hi!”

Pass.

“Chang!”

Yes?

“Come out, come out, wherever you are!”

This guy…

Keo sighed to himself and thought about how great it would feel when he shut Harvey the fuck up. Because the big man was annoying him. More than that, Harvey was drawing a lot of unwanted attention to him.

You’re begging for it, Harvey.

Be careful what you wish for, fucker.

Except Keo couldn’t shut the man up. At least, not yet. He was between a rock and a hard place at the moment.

Or, should he say, a tree branch and five guys trying to kill him. Because that was how many were below him right now.

Five guys.

Harvey was one of them. The other two included Fridge, the trigger-happy kid, and three others that Keo had never bothered to get to know. Toby the not-really-a-medic medic was nowhere to be seen. Keo assumed he’d gotten himself killed when the Arrowhead folks attacked their, well, would-be attackers.

Five guys. All armed.

That was the problem. The all armed part.

The bigger problem? He wasn’t armed.

One of many problems, anyway. Keo wished he could say not having a gun was the least of his worries. After fleeing the scene of the ambush, Keo had considered running back to take refuge in the cave from last night, but he’d decided against that.

One: It was a friggin’ cave.

And two: Going into it meant not having a way out. Or maybe there was a way out, but Keo didn’t know about it.

So Keo had made the best decision he could under the circumstances. He’d relied on his old skills: Climbing.

He’d always been a very good climber. His mom, who was Korean, used to call him wonsungi. The Korean word for monkey. Keo had put that childhood skill to very good use over the years, and this was one of those times.

Harvey was still calling out to Keo as he led the four Shakers through the wooded area, seemingly oblivious to the fact they were still in enemy territory. All of them were, including Keo. As far as he knew, both Mick and Pick were dead and the Arrowhead folks were now looking for all six of their scalps. They would have no idea that he wasn’t a Shaker, and truth be told, he didn’t blame them one bit.

Snap! as one of Harvey’s boys broke a twig in half.

Another snap! as another one of his boys did likewise.

They weren’t being all that subtle about moving around. Maybe that lack of care had something to do with what they’d already gone through. Harvey had blood on one side of his cheek, where a bullet had grazed it. He’d stanched the bleeding with a square bandage, but blood still trickled down his chin. The others looked similarly battle-weary, as if they’d been fighting for the last week instead of… What? The last hour or so?

Keo hadn’t heard shooting last night after he’d fled into the cave with Suzanna, or he would have woken up.
