Desire In The Desert

She held her breath, watching the men. They were caught up in their conversation, and none was paying attention. She’d be in the open for a minute, the time it took to get to Tara. She just needed Tara to back up against the palm tree. She waited until the woman glanced at her and she motioned to the tree. Tara moved until her back was pressed against it.

Smart, Kate thought. So far she was following every cue with ease.

Kate moved in swiftly, keeping low to the ground. Within a minute Tara was free and Kate had given her whispered directions and she was off.

“Get her back! Get her now!” he shrieked into her face.

“Run, Tara!” Kate screamed and it was the last thing she did as her captor’s fist connected with her jaw.
