Wyatt saw his opening. He swung his leg and kicked Flint’s gun.

The Glock spun out of Flint’s grip, flew through the air, and disappeared into the snow.

Flint gaped as he realized what had happened and lunged toward the gun.

“Easy, boy,” Flint muttered, his eyes wide as he stared at Thunder. “Easy.”

Wyatt grabbed the gun from the ground and pointed it at Flint. He didn’t take his eyes off the scene as he ordered, “Everyone in the truck. Now.”

The group hurried toward the truck.
