Chapter Twenty

Wade had circled around the broken fuselage but kept Sarah in his line of sight. There was a moment of tension when the girl Sarah found had raised her gun to Sarah, and Wade had to act quickly to get his own weapon up, just in case. His finger was waiting calmly outside of the trigger well until he needed to shoot. He watched as the girl lowered her gun, and he did the same. He couldn’t hear what was being said, but from the body language, he could tell the danger had passed. Sarah was starting to lead the girl out of the wreckage, and he only could guess she was going to bring the girl to the rendezvous point where Emily and Tom still were waiting. He made his way back as well, still keeping an eye out for an ambush or any other kind of danger. He heard Tom’s moaning before he saw the man. Emily was trying to shush him as best she could, but she wasn’t having any luck.

“Tom, you’ve got to try to be quiet. We don’t know who else is in the woods with us, and we have to try to hide.” The little girl was pleading with Tom, but he just wasn’t having it.

Emily jumped when Wade broke through the trees. She immediately calmed down when she recognized him. She opened her mouth to say something, but Wade just held up a hand, stopping the stem of words before they even could get started. Emily closed her mouth with a snap and put her hands up in surrender as she backed away from Tom. Wade came to take her place, checking Tom’s pulse, and doing his best to assess his wounds.

“How’s he doing?” Emily shook her head. The poor little thing had no idea. She had no medical training at all, and had no idea what to look for to tell if he was getting worse. Wade ruffled her hair as he walked by.

“It’s okay, Emily. I know you can’t do much. It’s not your fault.”

He bent down next to Tom, and started peeling the shirt back from the wound. Tom turned his head away from it so he wouldn’t have to watch. It was lucky he didn’t, because Wade’s face slipped and betrayed his worry. The wound was bad, and without medical treatment from a doctor in a hospital, he was afraid that Tom was done for. The grass and leaves rustled not far away, and Sarah came through the underbrush. Emily ran to her, hugging her tightly. Sarah returned the hug. The other girl was hanging back a little, almost like she was shy. Emily saw her when she pulled away from Sarah, but she made no move to go and introduce herself. Emily went back to Tom and Wade, sensing that Sarah wanted to talk to the newcomer herself.

“Come on over here so we can talk, okay?” The girl was standing there, frozen in place, looking at Tom writhing on the ground in pain as Wade inspected the wound.
