Chapter 59

"We just lost all video feed in the church."

Cain and Paul exchanged glances when Terrance's voice radioed to them.

Cain reacted first and made his way down the corridor in the school, Paul and the cameraman following.

Paul lifted the walkie-talkie to his mouth. "Are the girls okay?"

The radio crackled. "I don't know. I couldn't see anything. We're on our way now."

Cain paused, realizing Terrance's voice was rushed, out of breath.

A surge of fear nearly knocked the adrenaline aside. Cain picked up speed and tore past Paul. He vaulted off the exterior steps and into the knee-high grass at a run. Earl and Paul were close on his heels, if their breathing was any indication. Cain had known this was a bad idea, letting Kerry and Sammy go in that church alone.

The radio mic went from silent to a screech. Kerry's voice wailed through the speakers. "We need backup now! Tom's...scratched. Something...oh God."
