*Excerpt*

Timing remained key to survival while the erratic, pounding pulse in her ears rivaled a snare drum’s buzz roll, an executioner’s beat. Before the adrenaline in her blood circulated again, she’d be free or dead, depending on which card destiny threw her way.

Crouched between Jake on the left and Franklin on the right, she took a deep breath and waited for the signal. Both men risked their lives to set her free yet asked for nothing in return.

“Whatever happens, don’t look back and don’t hesitate, regardless of what you see or hear,” Franklin issued orders per routine. Years in the military merged certain traits with his basic character. A glance at his watch then around the corner, he assessed the building’s front.

Wind shrieked through specimen trees dotting the courtyard and offered the illusion of cover. Neither would stop a bullet.

A shimmer of perspiration glazed Jake’s forehead. Steel in his gaze matched the resolve of his harsh whispers.

Jake gave her shoulder a gentle squeeze. “We’re in this together, Callie. This is our best shot. Let’s go. It’s time to set you free.”

Omission of flaxen-haired warbler attested to his degree of concentration. No quips, no banter, just streamlined focus.

Her mind defaulted to calculating estimated distances while factoring in wind resistance, depth of snow, and the time needed to reach the tree line beyond the fence.

The perimeter guard pulled up his collar against the frigid wind in passing. She wondered if he knew exactly who, and what, he secured.

Anxiety innervated and stimulated her senses, twisted higher by the potential for failure. Unable to distinguish between the urge to run or freeze, she was caught in a limbo of her biological making.

Static squelch of the second perimeter patrol’s radio faded with distance. Each circuit of the border yielded a like check-in. Stereo came from the electrical channel noise of a tower watchman’s walkie-talkie above.

Something felt— off.

The facility’s floodlights defined the unmistakable profile of the rooftop sentry. Light glinted off the barrel of his automatic rifle.

Seconds into her nightmare bid for freedom, an earsplitting siren blasted the silence.

Jake rushed forward with a stronger grip on her upper arm. Additional pressure compelled her to tap into unrealized energy reserves.

Her life changed in ten strides.

Franklin’s grip on her other arm convulsed before sliding to her wrist, then releasing. “Go, Jake. Get her out of here. I’ll hold them off as long as I can.”
