Desperate Rescue. Barbara Phinney

СКАЧАТЬ self-control. She stumbled to her feet and began a zigzag trek around the house.

      Reaching the back gate, she thrust out her arms and shoved hard. The posts, weakened by too many high winter snows, had lost their grip on the ground. One good shove from her and they toppled loudly, dragging brittle brush with them.

      But they weren’t so weak that they gave her full rein. She stumbled and crawled over them, only to have one post fight back. Her weight wasn’t great enough to keep it down and she found herself scraped and tangled in the mix of chain link and barbed wire.

      “Kaylee! What’s going on? Are you crazy? Stop! You’ll cut yourself to shreds!”

      She stared up at Eli. He stood over her, worry frowning on his face.

      There was no mockery, no smirk on his face. He held out his left hand and she saw the puckering scar he’d shown her before.

      Confusion swept through her. Did Noah have that scar?

      No, he didn’t. She was sure now. “Where were you?”

      “You mean, just now? I went into the basement.”

      “Why?”

      “Looking for—Looking for any clues to where they went.”

      “Didn’t you hear me call?”

      “Once, but by the time I got up into the kitchen, you were already racing down the stairs. I had to grab you when you stumbled. You could have killed yourself.”

      Her panic drained away. “What did you find in the basement?”

      He pulled in a deep breath and shook his head. “Not much. A table, a few chairs. It looked as if it was set up for one of those prayer sessions you described. A few candles. There was a lightbulb hanging from one of the beams.”

      A light? The times she’d been down there, only candles were used and she’d kept her head down in hopes no one would notice her. A shudder danced through her. Old knobby candles that smoked and stank and shot long shadows through the basement.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
