Lilly had to admit to herself that even though she had never before liked guns, she did like the feeling she had when she handled the guns well and hit her intended target. Matt had gotten her started, and Derrell had continued with her.

Was it only the night before that Holt and Conn had paid her that visit? She had been so frightened for the safety of her and Tommy that she could barely function. Now, though only a few hours later, she felt things had changed. It was not just that Sam, Matt, and Derrell were present, but that she was doing something on her own to help herself and not depending entirely on somebody else.

Lilly could see her friends talking with Holt on the hill. She thought back several years and tried to remember why she had rejected Derrell’s advances in favor of Jack. Both were good men, and always had been. For some reason, years before, Jack just seemed to be the best choice. And he had provided her a good life for as long as it lasted. She had not regretted marrying Jack. She still thought of Derrell from time to time, though they seldom talked. She was a little surprised to see Derrell again . . . unless he was still interested in her. He had never married, after all. It was too soon to even think of such things, but maybe in a year. . . .

She jumped when the rifle shot exploded from some brush near the hill, followed by another shot on the other side of the hill. Somebody was obviously trying to pin down her friends, who had already scurried for cover.

“Best get inside, ma’am,” Lester said. “You, too, Tommy.”

“But they’re shooting!” Tommy protested.

“That’s why you’d best get inside. There’s not much you can do here. No use taking chances.”

“What are you planning to do?”

“Go up and help my son, of course. If you all get inside where it’s safe.”

“We’ll do it.”

“Good.”

Lester started up the hill, staying close to the trees and brush.
