9: On the Run

Sid Daughtry, Captain Bell, and Evan stood nervously in the helm, keeping a hard eye on the following JAB . The wind was still blowing, and the rain still fell. Greg Piles burst into the room.

“I demand to know whats going on here, Captain! Shots fired? I mean, my wife is in TEARS !â€?

“Mr. Piles, this is a hunting party, So you could hear anything at anytime! Unfortunatly thats not our case, so were gonna do what it takes to stay alive, even if it means to spare a few of your wifes tears. If you want to yell, I’d suggest yelling at that!â€?

Greg saw that the JAB that dwarfed the red bell was only about a quarter of a mile behind. He ran back to his wife. Ron followed him, but only down to the deck, were he searched for Emma.

“You… You set all this up?â€?

“What should I have done?! I saw it in your eyes, in Gordan’s eyes! And I’m really sorry I, I don’t know, saved our lifes?â€?

“What? No Emma, I wanted to thank you. What you did was extremely brave and smart. Got any other plans?â€?
