Chapter 10

Back at camp, in the opposite direction she wanted to go, Summer was ushered into a small office. Easton and Devlin accompanied her.

Two men stood behind the man seated at a desk. He motioned at a chair in front of her to sit down. She took the seat and waited, Easton and Devlin standing right behind her. Fatigue hit her like she’d never seen or felt before. And she knew shock was leaving its mark. If that soldier died …

Before the seated man could speak, she leaned forward and asked, “Is my driver going to make it?”

The leader nodded. “We hope so. He’s been stabilized and is on his way to the closest hospital.”

Relieved, she sat back but only a little. “There was a lot of blood,” she said softly.

“Can you tell us what happened?”

No way to avoid it. She took a deep breath and quietly, calmly—maybe too calmly, considering what she’d been through—related the turn of events.

When she fell silent, no one said a word for a long moment, then the questions started. She answered as best as she could. No, she didn’t see the shooter. No, she couldn’t tell if there was one or more than one. No, she never saw any of the weapons. No, she didn’t think anybody approached the jeep. Yes, she did hear some branches crackling but didn’t have any idea what caused that.

As she went through the last of the questions, she felt nauseated. Finally she shook her head and said, “I don’t know if I’m staying here or if you’re finding me another plane, but I need to lie down.”

She looked at Easton and reached out a hand. He reached back. God, she loved that about him. Using his strength, she slowly got to her feet, feeling the room sway.

He wrapped his arm around her. “Easy.”

She gave him a wan smile. “I’m fine. I just need to lie down for a bit.”

The three men behind the desk discussed something to do with the room assignments, but she didn’t care. As far as she was concerned, she hadn’t left. Her same bed was still here.

With Devlin on one side, Easton on the other, they turned and led her back out. After taking a series of turns she didn’t recognize and hoped she wouldn’t have to repeat on her own, she entered the tent that appeared to be the same as the one she’d left. She walked over to the bed she’d slept in and sat down. She let herself fall sideways, her head hitting the pillow. Just before she let sleep claim her, she mumbled, “Where are my bags?”

There was a thunk as they landed beside her. She opened her eyes to find Easton standing there. Of course he carried her bags the whole time.

She smiled. “Thank you.”

Her eyes drifted closed, and sleep followed. She desperately needed a rejuvenating rest, but instead nameless men chased her. Instead of bright blue skies in happy dreams, she had nightmares with nothing but terror and fear following her.
