In yesterday's excerpt from THE BODYGUARD, Mitch and Julia were working against a winter blizzard to find her children. Today's cliffhanger brings more challenges--overcoming cold-hearted human enemies.
***CLIFFHANGER FROM THE BODYGUARD***
The cold, uneasy feeling in Mitch’s gut echoed the stark whiteness of the snowy landscape they trudged through. How ironic that the man who played a role in Charlene’s death was the best hope the twins had to survive. Still, Stryker was unpredictable. And where was Swaggerty?
Although he missed her, Mitch was glad Julia had stayed behind. Perhaps while she was resting, the rescue teams would pull off a miracle fitting this holiday season.
Their progress on snowshoes was slow. Mitch understood the danger of avalanches if they used snowmobiles and knew the slowness of their pace forced them to look for details they might overlook at a faster speed. Still, he champed at the delay. They had criss-crossed this grid a dozen times with no sign of the twins. Only the mongrel dog, Gabe, seemed excited by the trek across the frozen land. He trotted from one white lump to another, sniffing seriously. Although Mitch doubted the pooch’s pedigree, maybe he could turn up a clue they had missed.
A pi-zing flying past Mitch’s ear shattered the routine search.
"Get down!" Mitch tucked and rolled to the ground. The others stared in stunned silence as Mitch came up in a crouch behind a boulder with Gabe flattened belly-down beside him. "Get down! Someone is shooting at us."
