Gerald wasn't watching from a distance.
For the first time...
He wasn't hiding.
For the first time...
I had him.
Or so I thought.
Then something slammed into the side of my head.
Pain exploded.
The world spun.
I hit the ground hard.
A second figure stepped from behind a tree.
Not Gerald.
Someone else.
Waiting.
My vision blurred.
The man raised a metal pipe.
And smiled.
"Got him."

Something was wrong.
Terribly wrong.
The moment Beast disappeared into the trees, my stomach dropped.
The horse's scream still echoed across the ranch.
The pasture gate stood open.
The horses were running.
And Beast was gone.
The ranch yard had exploded into chaos.
Hank was shouting orders.
The boys were running everywhere.
