Thorne smiled at me, as I bent down to check on Bill.

“I’m so happy to see you Faron, you cannot imagine my joy.”

Bill was shot high in the back, but most of the bleeding came from a ragged exit hole in his right shoulder, and although he was unconscious, his breathing seemed steady. I looked over at Tori standing beside Felicia and Sophie and saw her shift her eyes to the front steps of the cabin, I gave her a slight nod and stood up.

“Thorne, you crazy piece of shit! What was that explosion?”

“That was the sound of my house blowing up and taking the cops with it, by the time they sort that mess out I’ll be long gone. Felicia, come here.”

Felicia didn’t budge and Thorne pointed the gun at her aunt.

“Come here or I’ll shoot Sophie, I should shoot the ungrateful bitch anyway for arranging these trysts”

Felicia relented. “All right David.”

I reached over and held her back. “If you’re leaving, go, but Felicia is staying here.” He pointed the gun at me and I held up my hand, hoping to buy time. “Wait! Why only blondes?”

Thorne sighted down the barrel.

“They’re more fun, goodbye Faron,”

He was about to pull the trigger when he heard the approaching footfalls from behind.

Bobby Owens. I had asked him along just in case and it looked like he was about to capture Thorne all by himself.

Thorne turned toward Bobby an instant too late and Bobby caught him with a running right to the chin, that made Thorne drop the gun, but he was still wielding the knife.

It was a mean piece of work too, a foot long blade with deadly serrated teeth on one side and a sharp edge on the other.

As Bobby and I circled him, Thorne slashed the air in front of us. Bobby made a play for Thorne’s gun and plucked it from the ground, but as he was bringing it up to fire, Thorne slashed him across the back of the hand. Bobby screamed in pain and the gun went flying into the darkness of the trees.

I scrambled over to where Bill lay bleeding and tore his gun from his holster. When I looked back at Thorne, he was holding the knife at Tori’s throat.

“Throw it away Faron! Throw it away or I’ll slice her tits off.”

As he talked, Thorne backpedaled toward the Hummer. I looked at Tori; she appeared both terrified and pissed at the same time. I held my hand out at arm’s length and then flicked my wrist, sending Bill’s gun into a thicket of bushes.

Felicia ran over to Thorne and grabbed Tori’s hand.

“Let her go! Just take the car and leave us alone.”

“Come with me, I’ve money hidden away, we won’t starve.”

“I’m not coming with you.”

“Yes you will… or else.”

“I don’t care about your threats anymore. The things you’ve done, all those poor women… oh my God, David.”

“But… I love you Felicia, I can’t leave without you.”

Felicia pulled Tori harder and Thorne let her slip from his grasp.
