Chapter 10

Rebel watched in terror as Saul raced toward the Jeep, making hand signals.

The Jeep backed up and headed toward the other side of the parking lot. As if the stalkers understood they would get pinned in, the car sped up. But the Jeep had more power under the hood and jumped forward into the car’s path. They just barely avoided a collision as the car hit the brakes and squealed to a stop.

But the driver hit Reverse immediately and backed up fast to put as much space between him and the Jeep as he could.

She couldn’t see everything that was happening, and all she could think of was them getting run over in the dark. The air filled with danger. She desperately wanted to leave her vehicle. The confined space was suffocating. What if someone saw her? Instead she followed instructions—for the second time in a row tonight, yet the first time in a long time—and stayed put. The headlights were going crazy on the far side. Someone raced in her direction on foot. It was too dark to see who it was.

She waited until he got closer. As he ran past her car, he turned right in between the vehicle she was in and the car next to hers. She unlocked her passenger door, choosing her time well, and threw open the door right into his body, slamming him hard. She was out and on him in an instant. She pinned him to the ground and landed one fist against his chin, the second against his nose. She would take care of this asshole before he took care of anybody else.

Only she was not an even match for this asshole on the ground. He flipped her off his chest. But she hung on. It was awkward, still prone on the concrete parking lot, confined between two vehicles. She couldn’t get any decent blows in, and she couldn’t get her legs to work properly. Pissed but exhausted, the shocks kept coming as she resorted to hitting him, blindly kicking, slamming anything she could to knock this man back down and keep him down. Suddenly hands grasped around her ribs and lifted her.

“Take it easy, Rebel,” Saul said. “Take it easy. It’s all right. We’ve got him.”

Slowly she let her body relax in his arms as she realized several other men had grabbed the man, hauling him to his feet out from between the vehicles.

“Thank God,” she whispered.

He held her back against his chest, her arms and hands still clutched in his arms crisscrossed about her body. She watched them cuff the man’s hands behind him and zip-tied his feet, then propped the man up against her car. Flashlights on, they moved so she could look at his face. Although battered and bleeding, his features were quite distinctive. And unfortunately they were also completely foreign to her.

“I have no idea who he is,” she said. She pushed away from Saul to see the stranger better. “What the hell are you doing following us?”

He glared at her.
