TWENTY-TWO

Mason led the group down the camp road at a medium jog. The girl, Nikki, seemed to be having a little trouble keeping up. He thought it best to keep the group together. He had no idea how fast the injured man could move or if he was giving chase but he wasn’t about to leave one of the girls behind to get hurt. He knew Tony would keep pace with the young lady and stick by her. He could see where that situation was headed. Tony was the world’s biggest sucker for pretty blondes so that meant that Mason would have to stay close as well.

The campsites were now in view. They had just passed the dirt path to their camp. Mason surmised that the office was still half a mile off. To the left, about fifty yards ahead, a woman ran into the road crying and pleading for help. This can’t be good, he thought. Suddenly a teenage male ran after the woman. The teen leapt on the woman and brought her down. She wore only shorts and a tank top. Her exposed knees and palms hit the pavement with a horrible scrape that hurt to witness. The teen ravaged her from on top of her back and seemed to be biting her shoulder.

Mason broke into a full run with Tony following. The screams for mercy from the woman were heartbreaking. Mason glimpsed a wound on the teen’s back as he approached. He didn’t know what was wrong with the kid but it looked a lot like the other injured man. Something fucked up is going on here, he thought. He stopped at the side of the woman. He wasn’t sure how to remove the teen without hurting the woman as well. The frustration lasted only a fraction of a second however it seemed an eternity of helplessness. The teen looked up and roared a hungry sound. Mason was out of patience. The uplifted head of the teen presented a perfect target. He swung his heavy foot at the thing’s face. The motorcycle boots he wore were armored to protect one’s legs from the weight of a 500 pound dirt bike. In this case, Mason’s reinforced footwear became a sledgehammer. The teen reeled back several feet; bits of wet flesh flying from its mouth. Mason stepped over the woman and placed himself between her and the flailing teen. It rose to its feet and charged. Mason delivered a textbook perfect front kick to his attacker’s sternum. Between the momentum of the rushing boy and the direct focused strike from Mason’s boot, a tremendous amount of force was transferred. Mason heard the boy’s chest crack in several places as it flew backwards. The feel of the impact was unreal and disturbing. Chests were not supposed to be squishy.

“Get her up,” Mason said; his eyes trained on the teen.

Tony turned and threw the small first aid kit to Veronica as she approached, freeing his hands to pick up the woman.

“Wait,” said Veronica opening the first aid kit.
