Tethered Pair

Wars are fought on many fronts. A battle is raging across New Colorado Protectorate with both human and demonic players. Todd and Nick Ruger are sentries with an arsenal of talents and training to combat threats from a variety of enemies. Todd and Nick are given a mission to find and stop weapons smugglers by going undercover on the riverboat, Annabelle. These aren't typical arms dealers, they're demons and they're not afraid of a pair of sentries. The Rugers will have to use all their skills and their most powerful weapon, the bond between them, just to stay alive. Stopping the supply of illegal weapons turns to trying, and failing, to thwart an assassination. Todd and Nick have each other, but will they be able to keep their love intact?

Chapter 49

Todd missed having his head taken off by a fraction of an inch when the pastor pulled a two-by-four chunk of wood from behind his back and swung at Todd. Hard. When Todd ducked, the wood missed its mark, but it also prevented him from firing.

Bounding forward in two long, quick steps, the pastor swung at him again. At this range, Todd would likely kill the man, and he wanted to avoid that at all costs. Holstering his gun, Todd ducked low, yelled, charged forward, and rammed the guy in the middle with his head. The piece of wood clattered to the floor, and pain sliced through Todd’s ribcage.

The pastor backpedaled and expelled a harsh grunt from Todd’s impact. Their momentum carried them back until the pastor slammed into a wall, jarring Todd. Finally, someone was hitting a wall besides Nick and him. Todd staggered back a few steps, shaking his head before dropping down hard on the wooden floor.

The pastor sagged to the floor, gasping for breath. “You’re not a gambler,” he wheezed.
