A frantic sprint erupted. Mud sucked at Marcus’s boots with every pounding step. Luna clung to him, eyes wide with fear. The criminals yelled curses, waving arms wildly. Then, shockingly, rocks flew through the air instead of bullets. Clods of dirt and broken shale cracked past him.
Pain seared his shoulder as a jagged stone grazed him. He stumbled but held Luna steady. Another rock zipped by, narrowly missing his head. The threat of gunfire had been a bluff—but their rage and aggression were frighteningly real.
Tripping on a twisted cypress root, Marcus fell face-first into the marshy ground. He lost his grip on Luna, who slid away with a frightened yelp. Mud splattered his eyes, blinding him briefly. The world spun in shadows and panic.
When he wiped his eyes clear, a criminal had closed in. Marcus scrambled for Luna, but the man was faster. Rough arms seized the puppy, her frantic whines piercing the chaotic night. Rage and terror surged through Marcus.
The criminal lunged for Marcus’s leg, fingers tightening around his ankle. Adrenaline surged, sending a shock through him. He kicked violently, his shoe slipping free. Heart pounding, Marcus twisted free, fighting the swamp’s pull, and launched into a desperate run.
