HANG FIRE - Chapter 16


             “Get down, Rose!” Cedar said.
            But Rose Small was not listening. She half-knelt, stretching over the top of him. At first he thought she was going to help pull him up over the edge of the pit. Instead, she pulled the rifle on his back free.
            “Rose, no,” he said. But clinging to a rope half out of a pit with someone taking shots at him didn’t exactly put him in the prime position to bargain. Especially not with a strong-willed woman like Rose Small.
            “Hold on there,” she said. “I’ll be right back, Mr. Hunt.” She stood, cocked the rifle, and ran.
            She disappeared behind a tree just as another shot rang out.
            Rose took aim and returned fire.
            Wil, his brother still in wolf-form, was off the other way from where Rose had run. He growled.
            “Mr. Hunt,” Mae Lindson, at the bottom of the pit below him, called out. “Who is shooting at us?”
            “I’ll let you know.” Cedar surged up out of the pit and hugged the ground. A bullet pinged again, singing a struck-metal bell tone as it ricocheted somewhere not all that far from his prone position.
            Rose, still behind the tree, returned fire. Woman was a crack shot. If she caught so much as a glint of movement in the trees, their attacker wouldn’t be standing.
            “You want your gun back, Mr. Hunt?” she asked, keeping the rifle steady as she scanned the trees.
            “Keep him busy.” Cedar tossed his ammunition pouch at her feet, and Rose snatched it up quick.
            “Mae,” he said, “take hold of the rope.”
            His heart pounded hard, the beast inside his bones wanting out, wanting to kill the unseen gunman, wanting to destroy the man who was putting Mae in danger.
            Two more shots cracked out. 
            Rose fired back as Cedar hauled on the rope as fast and hard as he could.
            Wil shifted in the cover of brush, his weight on three feet, bleeding. He growled again, the glowing copper of his eyes carrying a man’s intelligence instead of that of a wolf. He wanted their shooter dead too, but was in no shape to hunt.
            Finally, Mae was at the edge of the pit and pulled herself out and onto her hands and knees.
            Cedar knew they had no advantage over the gunman here. “Rose, give me the rifle.”
            She darted out from behind the tree and tossed him the rifle. She pulled her own pistol from her belt. “We run for it, Mr. Hunt?”
            “Indeed you do, Miss Small. You too, Mrs. Lindson.”
            “Cedar,” Mae began, “please don’t–”
            “I’ll be right behind you,” he lied. “Go!”


Thanks to all that stopped by! Enjoy the rest of the tour!
