Harris crept toward the storage building, careful to stay out of the light spilling from the doorway. Unintelligible voices muttered inside, rising and falling in the rhythm of an argument.

Dryly, he swallowed and shifted his grip on the gun. If they were arguing, the hostage could still be alive. Taking a breath, he inched to the door and leaned his head around the frame.

Rigid control kept him from cursing, aided by a fair measure of shock.

A heavy stench hung in the air. Bodies lay on the floor. And Ashley was standing beside them all.

She looked back to the captive, who seemed to be cursing her roundly. Over the distance the angry words were indecipherable, though the cold expression with which she met them was clear. On either side of the kneeling prisoner, two men stood, while at their backs, several others were surveying the room.

He ducked out of sight as a few of her accomplices glanced toward the door, and waited a cluster of heartbeats before edging his gaze around the frame again.

The captive fell silent for a moment. He muttered something to Ashley.

And without a trace of expression on her face, she burned him alive.

Harris gasped. Her accomplices stumbled backward. Swiftly, Ashley turned to the rest of the dead sprawled across the floor while behind her, the blackened corpse lay smoking.

Choking down a breath, Harris raised his gun.

He didn’t miss this time.
