The Trap
“They ran. Out into the courtyard. Dozens of flashlights stabbed the darkness like light sabers. Chinese voices were yelling.
Mack didn’t know what they were yelling, but it was probably “Get them!”
They passed beneath an arch, up a ramp, down a staircase, running blind, no idea where they were going, just running.
But as they ran, Mack kept thinking he really should stop, give himself up. The guards would call an ambulance for Stefan. They could probably save his life.
But if they gave up, Mack... would be kicked out of the country and sent home. What would become of the Magnificent Twelve then?
This was not the kind of decision Mack liked to make. Doom Stefan or doom the world. That wasn’t like choosing between shorts and jeans. This was life and death.
But it probably wasn’t going to matter much. Because suddenly Mack, Jarrah, and Stefan had run out of places to run.
They were boxed in. Guards were closing from three directions, and the fourth direction was a wall beautifully decorated in tile.MoreLess
