Chapter 28

Lakshmi and Jerome threw themselves into the water on the shore of the pond in a shallow place, in an action that allowed them to stay under cover of the bullets that fell from the other end of the lake that was already more than 150 paces behind. Some rocks stood between the shooters and the travelers, giving them temporary security. The bullets hit the surface of the water, raising jets of liquid. "You can see them?" Asked the woman.

“I'm going to move through the water until I can see the shore we were on. Obviously the shots come from there. " Crawling in the cold water, the man slipped behind the stones that offered shelter from the gunshots. There he could make out two kneeling figures on the shore where they had been with Lakshmi minutes before. Both carried automatic weapons with telescopic sights.
