Desperate Escape. Lisa Harris

Чтение книги онлайн.

      Maddie tried to swallow the fear threatening to engulf her.

      She’d seen what they did with her coworker from the hospital. And knew what they’d do to her if they caught her trying to escape.

      She quickened her steps across the tangled mass of vines beneath her feet, her rib cage pressing against her lungs as they hurried over a low section of the wall then hurried into the forest. She was terrified they were following in the darkness. Terrified this wasn’t really over.

      She stumbled, but Grant was there to catch her. She felt his arm wrap around her waist. Felt the warmth of his hands as he steadied her. And caught a glimpse of his expression as he looked at her.

      “We’re almost there,” he said, breaking into her thoughts.

      She saw the waiting car as they came out of the thick wooded area. A second later, a streak of orange lit the night air in an arch then dropped back toward the horizon, enveloping the car in a ball of flames.
