Drive my elbow back—

connect with bone.

A grunt.

But not enough.

Another set of hands.

Stronger.

A needle flashes.

My heart slams.

Pain hits.

Sharp.

Burning.

My vision blurs.

Ford steps closer.

Force myself to focus.

“Go to hell,” I whisper.

His gaze hardens.

“You already opened the door.”

Darkness crashes in.

The last thing I feel—

is the fight leaving my body.

Jase

Location: Forest Perimeter — Arrival

Time: 02:52

The momentwe hit the tree line—
