I was bleeding again, and I was starting to worry about how much more blood I could lose before passing out.

My shoulder hurt terribly, and I was a bit angry at the woman for using the taser.

The girl, walking back to where I was, looked at me. I gazed up, and saw a man attack her, dragging her away. It happened so fast; at first I thought it’d been my imagination.

Next thing I knew, the woman was chasing, and I was standing up.

I started running, unsteadily, but blood kept pouring out of my shoulder. Then, I was falling to the ground.

I heard the footsteps going away from me, and stayed on alert for anything that might be coming near.

The man who’d attacked Audrey.. I somehow recognized him, as if from a faraway dream.

One I couldn’t remember.

“Grant! Come here, now!” the woman ordered from somewhere ahead of me.

I forgot about that, and ran to where she stood.

The only thing there were some motorcycle tracks leading back out to the road.

“They got her.”
