The gun was pointed directly at Marcus. The tip almost touched his nose. Hannah drew in a breath as her heart pumped a million miles a minute. The Halon extinguisher slipped from her hands. But Gott sent a blessing. Miracle let out a loud whinny that broke the dead silence.

At that very unexpected moment, the man holding the gun glanced in the direction of the sound. The second he did so, Marcus lunged toward the intruder, and, with one swift motion, shoved him to the ground. He proceeded to kick the gun out of his hands.

Immediately, Hannah rushed for the weapon and kicked it farther away from the intruder. As she did so, her entire body shook.

When she turned around, she saw that the thief was pinned facedown under Marcus. The two were engaged in what appeared to be a wrestling match.

Hannah had an idea.

As she rushed to the men, she pulled a piece of strong twine from her pocket. It was from a box she’d opened earlier. Remembering a scene from Sydney and Carson, she quickly created a handcuff knot with two loops. She slipped the two loops around the intruder’s ankles as Marcus held him down. She pulled the loops tight, but not so tight that it would cut off his circulation.

No doubt this would keep him from moving. Marcus rolled the intruder onto his back and had the thief’s hands.

“I’ve got more string! I’ll tie his hands.”

Marcus held the man’s hands, palms facing out, while Hannah did another handcuff knot around the man’s wrists. And prayed that Gott would send help right away.
