Kill, if people were between them and me

Five minutes later, we arrived

Jake never texted back

ASH

I was a mix of emotions

Fear Anticipation Readiness

The same old, same old

What nu?

I’d lost count by now

And I knew Raize was turning his killer mode on I could see it happen He stripped hi whatever was left that helped him become the ht with us, but I could tell he didn’t kno to take un ready

He had two

I had two

I didn’t kno many Raize had or where his rifle was, but then it didn’t matter

We were going into this fight

We were either going in to get Jake, Cavers, and Gus out or ere going in to avenge them

It was actually si out about it Me and mine or them

It was beco like that to me

Raize didn’t turn into the driveway He kept straight and took the first half road that led from the street Once we parked, we moved fast

Raize was out of the car and hurrying, getting his own guns ready He had the rifle in the back of the Suburban, under a co it across his back After that, he shut the door and ere off

Raize first, leading the way

I was second

Abraht up the rear

The guys were going fast and quiet

Me? I was fast, but not as quiet

There was no way I could be like theed paths, rass instead of leaves and sticks Our feet were a constant and steady thump thump thump

It wassteady

We drew up on a hill, overlooking the house and garage

Nothing looked amiss

Smoke traveled up from the chimney, but all of the hairs on the back ofdown my back

Jake never responded Jake would’ve responded

They were inside, whoever they were

Raize motioned for Abrae, but Abraave a nod and took off to the left

Raize gazed at me
