Bethany heard the truck coming and there was some small hope that maybe, just maybe it was Thad. She could picture him driving a truck, but that was not a diesel engine inside. The closer it got the larger it sounded and that made her a little nervous. What made it worse Lincoln hurrying them inside.
She almost dropped the bottles she took from Lincoln, setting them at her feet as she crouched down and held the gun tight. Whoever was out there was targeting the farm they were at. The fence was knocked down and they rolled right up the road. Whispering, she spoke to Amber.
"Do you think they followed us?" She furrowed her brow as suddenly the voices called out demanding all their stuff. She had to think quick and she didn't want Lincoln and Amber to sacrifice anything. If she gave up her gun, she could get another. She whispered again. "Stay here. Both of you. Let me see what this is."
Slowly she rose and started towards the barn door, opening it just enough for her to slip through in hopes the guys in military gear wouldn't see anything inside. Not that there was anything to see. The gun was looped around her finger, pointing up as she came up with hands up. One by one she looked them over. They were armored and armed to the teeth. Any shots she fired would just bounce off the armor or embed into the vests.
"It's just me! Here...take the gun. It's all I got." Which was a lie. The damn Humvee was right there but she didn't have the keys.
