CHAPTER TWENTY-five

The force of the explosion blew her forward. Out of training and experience, more than thought, Alex landed in a plank position on her hands and the balls of her feet. Her ears rang in an eerie silence of explosion induced deafness. Falling to her stomach, she belly crawled forward to where Raz lay in a crumpled ball. Colin crawled toward her.

Colin pointed to his ears. Confirming she couldn’t hear either, Alex pointed to her ears. She pointed to Raz then leaned back. A Special Forces trained medic, Colin began looking over Raz. He pointed to Raz’s legs. Raz’s legs pointed in opposite direction.

Raz’s back had gone out.

Using American Sign Language, Alex instructed Colin to help her turn over Raz. Colin was clearing Raz’s mouth when Jesse flew toward them.

“Another bomb! Right here! Go, go, go!”

When Alex grabbed Raz’s arm, Colin looked up at her. She pointed to the side tunnel. Colin shook his head. He didn’t want to move Raz.

“Another bomb!” Alex signed.

Colin’s face registered shock. He grabbed Raz’s other arm. They half carried and half dragged Raz’s body into the side tunnel. They were twenty yards into the tunnel when they were blown off their feet by another bomb.

Alex, Raz and Colin fell forward together. Alex managed to catch herself with her arm cast and elbow. Colin landed on his right shoulder. Raz landed on top of Alex and Colin. They skid forward along the dirt floor until they came to a halt.

Debris rained down on them. The air choked with dust. Alex counted to sixty before daring to look up. Raz groaned when she moved out from under him. Rolling to her side, she saw Colin was checking Raz from his side.

Another earth shattering boom and everything went dark.
