ELEVEN

“Get down!” Lance hollered and tried to get to Amber who had Sam already on the floor, shielding him with her body. The boy screamed and struggled against her.

Amber held tight and maneuvered Sam under the coffee table. She bumped it and the chess game flew off. Ignoring it, she pushed the table up against the couch with a protesting Sam under it. She stayed at the opening so Sam was effectively trapped under the table and up against the couch. He screamed and kicked and added his displeasure to the chaos. Lance saw that she had him safe, if not under control. She was talking to him in a low voice that wasn’t having any impact at all. At least not that he could tell, but at least the child was safe from the flying bullets.

Clay was already at the window, weapon aimed. He fired. Two more shots and more breaking glass.

Lance stayed low and went to the other window. He glanced out and saw two snowmobiles and two long-range rifles resting on their seats and pointed at his house. The attackers were using the snowmobiles as cover. “You see them, Clay?”

“I see ’em.”

“I’ve got the back of the house,” Kat said. Kat raced toward the back of the house, her weapon drawn.

“I’ll get the other windows in the kitchen,” Trent said.

The bullets stopped for a moment and silence reigned. Lance took a peek out the window and saw the two shooters aiming their weapons behind them. Movement behind the large barn alerted him. “There’s someone else out there.”

“Who?” Clay asked and stepped up look out.

“I don’t know, but I don’t think our attackers expected them. They’ve turned their weapons away from us and are aiming at the barn.” Lance drew in a breath. “It could be Justin and Handy. They were probably home and would’ve heard the shots. I warned them trouble might be coming.”

“Hope they stay out of sight.”

“Yeah.”

“We can’t assume it’s them, though.”

“I know.”

One of the shooters kept his weapon trained behind them, the other turned to aim back at the house.

“Keep them occupied while I get Amber and Sam out of here.”

“How? The temps are falling again. Where will you go?”

“I have a little hideaway place up where the caves are.” He had to raise his voice over Sam’s angry screams. “It’s not bad, better than camping and I can keep us warm and fed.”

“How will I find you?”

“I have a radio up there. You can find me.”

Clay picked up his own radio. “Where’s that backup?”

“Ten minutes out,” came the crackling reply.

Lance checked his weapon once more. “It’s snowing again. Hopefully it’ll be enough to cover our tracks.”

“No,” Clay said, “you need to come to the ranch. I’ve got help coming to watch it.”

“Are they there yet?”

“Not the complete group. This weather is playing havoc with travel.” He scowled. “But there are enough out there to keep you and Amber and Sam safe.”

“No,” Amber said from her position under the coffee table. She dodged a foot to the face.
