“Get down!”

Tanner shut the trailer door and bolted it.

Mara fell to her knees. Bullets sprayed through the trailer windows, chips of glass biting into her scalp. She’d not heard snowmobiles. They must have come on foot.

Tanner yanked his weapon free. He popped up and fired through the fractured glass as another hail of bullets slammed in, gouging holes in the cupboards and tattering the curtains. The blast pierced her eardrums.

Tanner gestured to Britta, and she belly crawled over to Mara. “Take Britta and go out the back. Get away from here.”

“Not without you.”
