Chapter Fifteen

Finn jumps over the long branch as Lina throws it down, her breath coming hard as she runs after the girl.

“Hey! Wait.”

“Got to catch them. They’re leaving!” Lina pants as she runs along the tree line, oblivious to the huge blond pulling himself up from the tarmac.

Finn pushes harder as Kyle runs beside her. The girl is quick! Her breath rasps in her throat and her thighs burn as she watches the escaping cars screech to a halt, the second one narrowly missing crunching into the boot of the first. The driver’s door opens and the soldier jumps out, looking back down to the carpark, and, as another man gets out of the second car, the small figures of several children appear from the bushes. So, that’s where the kids went—out of the way whilst the driver rammed his car at Sergei!

The younger, dark-bearded man walks to the children and ushers them back into the car, casting an anxious glance back at the carpark as Lina reaches the soldier. She throws her arms around him. He takes a step back then accepts her embrace, pulling her round to check the scene below. Finn follows their gaze and watches as Sergei limps across to an angry and staring Saskia.

“She’s not going to give up!” Lina exclaims incredulous as Finn steps next to her.

“She’s relentless,” agrees Kyle hand on hip as he catches his breath.

Lina turns to the soldier, her voice low, and he looks over at Finn then to Kyle.

“Lina doesn’t want us to leave you here!” the soldier says as he catches Finn’s gaze. “She’s worried you’ll get hurt by that lot,” he continues with a nod back to the supermarket.

“They’re monsters, Rick,” Lina blurts. “They were dead set on killing you and Cassie.” She turns to Finn. “Will you come with us?” she asks, her eyes connecting with Kyle’s. “It’s not safe to stay in this town with them. Rick says you can.”

Finn shakes her head and puts her arm on Kyle’s as he steps forward. He turns and frowns.

“What?” he asks.

“Do you want to go?” she responds.

“With them?” Kyle looks down at her. “I … I don’t know. This is my home.”

“Yes, it is and-”

“Rick!” the younger man calls from behind. “Looks like she’s going for it again!”

With a frown Finn follows Rick’s gaze and sees that Saskia is holding the crossbow again.

“It’s empty, Dan. She’s doesn’t have any ammo,” Rick replies, then turns back to Finn, his face serious, his voice gentle. “Are you coming?” he asks.

“Where?”

“We’re going up nor-”

“Rick!” Dan calls, his voice urgent. “She’s got bolts!”

Rick twists away from Finn and stares back at Saskia. “Move it!” he says, taking control. “Get in the car and mind the lady. She’s in a lot of pain.”

Without hesitation, Finn grabs the car door and slides onto the back seat. A pained growl sounds beside her. She stops, one leg still outside the car, and looks at the injured woman. A slight, very pretty blonde, pale beneath
