As Sheena let Lucy drop onto the bed in the guest room, gunfire erupted at the front of the house.

“Go see, Sheena. Go see if they got that SOB,” Lucy said as she pulled her legs onto the bed.

Lucy struggled to sit up and pull her arm from her sleeve. She needed to get the bleeding stopped. She needed to get out there and fight off the people trying to kill them. After finally wiggling out of her coat, she raised her sweater and ripped a strip of fabric from the bottom of her T-shirt. Lucy wrapped it around the wound and pulled the knot tight with her teeth. She stood, felt lightheaded, and sat back down. With her head between her knees, Lucy could hear multiple weapons being fired.

I have to get back out there.

Lucy rose, took two steps, and braced herself against the closet door. She eased herself to the doorway and scanned the hall before heading for the family room. The cold air from the shattered window hit her in the face. It felt surprisingly refreshing. Her nausea was easing.

“Sheena, where are you?”

Sheena didn’t answer.

“Sheena!” Lucy yelled.

Flattening herself against the wall between the window and the door, Lucy leaned to her right to peek through the tattered curtains.

She saw nothing. The gunfire now sounded like it had moved to the north side of the house toward the barn. Lucy crouched and crossed the room to the window facing the barn. She saw no one. Everyone was well concealed.

“Where the hell are you, Sheena.”

Lucy bent over and went under the window. When she reached the kitchen, the back door stood open. Through the glass in the storm door, Lucy could see Sheena and Antonio moving from the woodpile toward the well house. She felt totally helpless without a weapon.

The front door flew open, and Lucy jumped. Bile rose into her throat as panic gripped her gut.

Hide!

That was all she could think to do. Lucy looked around. There was nowhere to go. To reach the pantry, she’d have to cross the kitchen.

Think!

Lucy slid into the space between the open door and a floor-to-ceiling cabinet. She grabbed the knob and held on to it. This was one of those times she was glad she’d given up her Pepsi habit and laid off the carbs. If she was lucky, the person wouldn’t look behind the door. If they did, she was screwed.

She waited and listened. When she heard the squeak of the door to the basement, her heart leaped into her throat. She flung back the door and ran.
