Chapter 14

A snap of a branch woke him from a dead sleep. He was instantly alert. Another snap, immediately next to the truck, brought him to a crouch, with his rifle lifted and ready for a target. A large hog rooted near the truck followed by a host of piglets. He watched them for several minutes. They were unalarmed and foraging, which was a good sign, particularly after last night. Lowering his weapon, he glanced at the sun. It wasn't noon yet. A breeze circulated through the vehicle. Asp lowered back down onto the thin blanket next to Lyric. She sought him out in her sleep, moving into him.

He let her snuggle into his side while he gazed at the roof of the old SUV. His gut had told him the shack was being watched. Hell, every nerve in his body screamed the building was a deathtrap. He noticed a guard posted on the perimeter of the cabin and easily overpowered him. A search of the body produced American money which meant he was probably a local, hired to kill whoever came to the shack. A silenced bullet sank into the tree next to Asp and startled a bird into the air. The impact was so high it never had a chance of hitting him but did alert him to the position of a second gunman. Asp moved quickly, but instead of retreating, he advanced at a full run. When the shooter stood to fire, he threw himself forward and drove the man into the ground. The rifle dropped to the forest floor. Asp broke the man's neck with practiced ease and turned to the rifle the unfortunate guard had carried. The suppressor on the rifle was homemade. If another round had gone through it, the report would have been heard and more than likely, brought whoever else was in the area on the run. Small graces. Whoever hired these two would be checking in. Asp didn't see any radios on either body, but didn’t he stay long enough to search further. What he needed now was to get him and Lyric as distant from this location as possible.

He’d set a grueling pace, but Lyric kept on his six. They worked long, hard hours to travel not only away from the shack, but in the opposite direction he'd normally go. Whoever pursued him was damn good. His hunter had identified where he'd normally stop, so it was time for Asp to stop behaving normally. He worked them back up the hills, toward the higher elevations, away from his phone and help. The dead bodies he left last night would alert his tracker that he'd been there, and the hunt would begin in earnest. There was no way he and Lyric would be able to reach his vehicle. If it were just him, he would step up and take the fight to the bastard who was playing fucking chess with his life. But it wasn't just him. The woman sleeping next to him depended upon him for protection.
