Chapter 22
“Quiet!” Judas hissed as he clamped his hand over her mouth. “Do you want to bring the whole fucking military down on us?”
Suddenly he felt an elbow in his stomach and all the air knocked out of him. By the time he recovered, she was lost in the trees. Although blinded by the downpour, he finally managed to find her again. This time he whirled her around and gave her a left-handed slap, causing her to sink to the ground. He quickly hoisted her up on his shoulder and started for the edge of the woods where he saw the back of a string of buildings. He ran for them while the wind and rain still caused chaos on the promenade.
