CHAPTER 18 - Won’t somebody please think of the children!

Sara regained her senses slowly and moaned in response to the pain that the blow from the shotgun had inflicted upon her.

Following that, she felt the ache in her shoulders and realized that her arms were cuffed together at the wrists, and were being raised above her head.

She was still wet from her escape, but the small structure she was in was dry and looked to be an old wooden building of some kind, possibly a large shed.

The building no longer had a door, and through the opening, Sara could see trees and the ever-present rain amid a dull light that resembled dusk, although night was hours away.

“Why did you kill him?”

The question was asked by Cameron, who had been standing behind the wooden post that Sara was lashed to.

Sara turned her head to look up at her and the movement increased her pain, so she simply lowered her chin and answered.

“I didn’t hurt your brother and I’m not the woman you want. My name is Sara Blake, I’m an ex-federal agent and the man who I left to drown in the jail was a hired killer named Tanner.”

Cameron stepped in front of her and got down on one knee, so that she was eye level with Sara. In her right hand was something that looked like a long yellow bar, and when Sara realized what it was, the pain in her head became a secondary consideration.

It was a cattle prod.

“That’s some story, but I saw your other partner break in the jail to try to free you before the flood happened.”

“If you were watching, then you know that the deputy and that man fled together and left me to drown, and that’s because she’s one of them.”

Cameron thought that over, and yes, the deputy’s behavior was odd. She had thought that at the time, as she watched Lydia and Tyler run from the station, from her vantage point on higher ground, but the thought was pushed aside when she saw Sara swim from the building.

“What happened to the chief?”

“She killed him, his own deputy shot him and the bitch used my gun to do it.”

A thought came to Sara then and she remembered what Lydia had said about watching the girl’s house.

Was it the girl she had seen earlier, the one who had been heading towards the farmhouse with the boy? It must be, and those kids must have taken the stolen money.

“Listen to me. There’s something you need to do. That deputy, her name is Lydia and I think she’s going after two kids that took the money from the bank robbers. Leave me tied up here if you have to, but go to.... oh God, what street did she say? 10th Street? Yes, she’ll be somewhere on 10th Street, look for the chief’s vehicle. I think she’s going to kill those kids.”

Cameron stood and stared down at her, not knowing what to make of everything Sara was saying,
