“Rod get up now! We’ve got to go.”
“Huh, what?”
“The ferals are crossing the river.”
“We weren’t expecting them for another two hours.”
“Looks like the Boss was wrong, and now they are almost across the river.”
“Damn. Let’s go.”
The two men mounted up and rode harder than they had ever before, the horses straining to the limit, men and horses hoping to escape the scent of the predators chasing them. The ferals’ grunts and howls told the prey that the enemy was closing in, slowly eroding at that hope of escape.
“I don’t think-“
“Don’t say it. We still have to try. I’m not giving up yet. Maybe the Boss knows and sends help.”
“One must hope.”
