Four or Dead

Chapter 70

Logan

I have never ridden a four-wheeler before, but I can say I see the appeal now. Of course, I doubt you are supposed to ride them in near darkness

Jayden was able to sync our phones so we can all see where our guys are and the estimated location of Zane's property. We try to stick near each other but the darkness and the dense forest have put some distance between me and the guys

Honestly, all I can think about is getting to Emma. If the guys get lost we'll have to go after them later. I need to see my girl and fast. This time apart has messed with my mind, and I don't think I'll feel right again until I am holding her again

It takes a good half hour of us driving blindly through the forest before I hear the sounds of gunshots going off in the distance. I try to speed up and head in the direction of the sound but there is only so fast I can go with this much stuff in my way. I start to hear the sounds of the other four-wheelers heading in the same direction and I know whoever is in that place knows we are close. The sound of us coming is like thunder in the silence around here. \*)

We must be getting closer because I can hear shouting and a few more gunshots. Then another sound starts to echo around us. Something loud...a few moments later and a large cabin comes into view. I slow to a stop and jump off my ride and with a glance to the left and right of

me, I see the others doing the same. We all stop just behind the last row of trees and listen for any other sounds or movements; guns drawn and ready

The next round of shots has us all rushing toward the house and spreading out. A few guys head around back and I, Asher, Leo, and Jayden head through the front door. I count down from three and kick the front door in. A guy turns to us and starts to shoot but we take him out quickly and move further inside. A few more guys who didn't seem to hear us enter turn to us and start to shoot wildly in our direction but we seem to be an afterthought to them. They are all coming from the

same direction and look...panicked. \?) Something's happened.

Is it Emma?

One of them starts talking into a radio and I hear shots and yelling coming from outside. I can't think about what's happening out there though because Emma is somewhere in here and we need to find her

I get a glimpse of a helicopter taking off and the men on the roof shooting at it. A female scream has me focused on the helicopter again and for just a small moment I see Emma's scared face. The helicopter turns too soon and lifts too high for anyone to
