Chapter Fourteen

Shane tried to hide his pang of remorse when he realized the current house Les had selected wasn’t abandoned. In the few weeks he’d been with their group, this situation had arisen on two other occasions. There had been no surviving occupants before, and he didn’t see the outcome changing for this man and his two daughters.

They stood in their own kitchen, all visibly trembling. The man had his arms around each of the girls. Shane guessed the older one was around seventeen, and that sent another sharp pang through him. There was no doubt what the other men would want from her. At least the little girl, probably twelve or so, would be spared that.

“Please just take what you want and go,” said the man, pulling his daughters closer still.

“We will,” said Les, with easy confidence. “We’ll take everything.”

“You don’t have to hurt anyone here.” Still shaking, the man said, “I’m Charlie, and these are my girls, Izzie and Danielle. We can all walk away from this. No one has to die for some material goods.”

Shane imagined the man thought it would be harder for the group who had broken into his home, weapons blazing, to do anything violent to people whose name they knew. He could have told the man it wouldn’t work, if he’d dared open his mouth. Since he valued his life more than theirs, he didn’t say anything. He started to go to another part of the house to search for anything useful, but froze when Hardy stepped closer to the family, his senses screaming at him to be alert.

“I see something I want, Les.” He licked his lips as he eyed the older one. Izzie? Shane wasn’t sure.

“You went first last time,” said Spam.

“Play nice, boys,” admonished Antaya, who hung on Les, as she usually did, especially since her belly had started rounding with proof that she carried the seed of evil within. She seemed unbothered by the planned rape of the young woman across the room. “You can share or mix and match.”

“She’s right. There are two of them,” said Hardy, his gaze flicking to the younger one.

Before he realized he’d done it, Shane was holding his pistol close to Hardy’s head. “That is not happening.”

An air of tension ran through the room. He stiffened at the snick of a cocked pistol near the back of his head. Without turning to look, he knew Dingle had entered the fray, having chosen to align with the child rapists.

“Les, you can’t really be okay with this?” asked Shane, not moving his gaze or gun from Hardy.

Les came closer, appearing unconcerned by all the guns. “No, I’m not okay with it, West.”

“Tell Hardy to back off then.” Shane’s relief was short-lived as the other man spoke again.

“Afraid I can’t do that. The world has changed, and though I don’t condone it, I can’t deny them their fun. Women are hard to come by.”

“Danielle is not a woman. She’s only eleven,” said the older girl. She firmed her stance, trying to move in front of her father and little sister.
