Then one of the BRR let out a roar. “You fuckers!”
Bullets hit the building, the pavement, the little library. Spencer raised his gun and so did Aidyn. He took aim where the bullets came from and squeezed the trigger. The return barrage of bullets stopped.
The officer ran to their location. “Are you both okay?” Officer Gordon knelt behind him.
“Yep, we’re good. Are you alright?”
“Yes. The sheriff is at your house right now.”
“You’ll want him to join us here. We shot both of them.”
“Are they dead?”
“I don’t know.”
Brush began moving down from the mountain in several locations. “Heads up.” He warned.
A man yelled out. “Stop. No more. Let us bring them up the mountain.”
It sounded like Kent.
He called out. “Kent? Is that you?”
“Yes. No more shooting. We call truce.”
Spencer turned his head. “Can we trust them?”
“I don’t know.” Could they trust them?
“Kent, we need reassurances on your truce.”
The sounds of voices talking reached their ears but not actual words.
Slowly the brush moved. He raised his gun, and so did Spencer and Officer Gordon.
Kent stepped onto the road; his hands were up. He stopped in the center of the road looking in their direction.
“I’m here to ensure our truce. I’ll stay here until they get Ramsay and Brenner up the mountain.”
“What do you think Spencer?”
“I’ll keep sights on him. Officer Gordon, how do you want to proceed?”
“I’ll be honest, I don’t know.”
Aidyn holstered his gun. “I’ll go and stand with Kent.”
“Aidyn, what if they shoot?”
“They’ll shoot Kent too.”
He slowly stood and held his hands in the air. “I’m coming to stand with you Kent.”
He stepped from the shadows and locked eyes with Kent. One twitch and he’d pull his weapon, but Spencer would already have him shot.
His stomach tightened and his lungs refused to expand enough for deep breaths. His steps were slow and sure as he neared the road. Kent turned his head slightly. “Go ahead and move them. No shady shit.”
The rustling of the brush broke the silence.
