Waco was already headed down the hall, gun drawn, when he heard the shot. He had to get to Ella and now he knew exactly where she was, he thought as he raced to the double doors at the end.

He could hear Hud breaking in somewhere else in the house. Backup would be on the way. But Waco couldn’t wait for it. He had to go in. He had to try to save Ella.

As he approached, he noticed a sliver of light coming from between the double doors. He slowed and moved cautiously, his heart in his throat and a mantra playing in his head. Let Ella be all right.

At the sound of voices, he eased one of the doors open and peered inside. The first thing he saw was Mercy lying on the floor. She didn’t move as he opened the door a little wider and noted the wheelchair lying on its side. No sign of Angeline, though.

Pushing the door even wider, he spotted her. She was standing at the edge of an opening in the floor. Who he didn’t see was Ella.

Waco hadn’t thought he’d made a sound, but he saw Angeline begin to turn. The gun in her hand caught the dull light an instant before he heard the shot. The bullet carved a wormhole through the wood door frame before lodging itself in the hallway wall next to him.

“Ella!” he yelled, ducking back at the sound of splintering wood off to his right. “Ella!” His voice broke. He was desperate to hear her voice and felt a lunge of relief when he heard her respond from somewhere beneath the floor opening.

He quickly peeked around the corner of the partially open door, his weapon at the ready. Angeline was gone. He did a quick survey of the huge room and, heart dropping, knew where she’d disappeared to so quickly.
