On the Texas Border
“Abby felt a lot better. At least they weren’t giving up. And tomorrow might prove productive. Several vehicles passed, and Abby could taste the dust in her mouth. She was ready to get back to civilization.
An old truck came up behind them, and they had to move into the ditch to allow it to pass. Still, it barely missed hitting them.
“Stupid fools,” Jonas muttered, as they made their way onto the road again.
The truck stopped ahead of them, smoke billowing out of the tailpipe. It backed up and t...urned around. The driver gunned the engine and roared toward them at high speed.
“What the hell!” Jonas said, an instant before he caught her hand and began to run.
The truck kept coming—closer and closer. Abby’s breath was locked in her throat and her legs were tight. When it was inches from them, Jonas grabbed her around the waist and jerked her into the ditch. They rolled down a ravine into a cornfield.
Abby was winded and shaken. It took a while for the world to right itself. She lay on top of Jonas, her heart hammering loudly in her ears.MoreLess
