    Nathan didn’t reply. He surveyed his surroundings and brought her behind a huge rock, motioning for


    her to crouch down.


    He fished a re gun from his pocket and handed it to her.


    “Half an hour from now, a helicopter wille for you. When you see it hovering above you, fire the

    out, “No, you can’t go alone. It’s too dangerous.”


    “I’ll be fine.”

    “Can you not go, Nathan?” she cried.


    He couldn’t help but pull her into an embrace. He hugged her tightly as if it would be theirst and was

    He buried his face into the crook of her neck and whispered, “I’m sorry, Suzy. Please don’t hate me. If I
