Read An Excerpt
Moments later, her eyes popped opened and
widened in terror at the faces looming above her. A scream started in her
throat but was muffled by the huge hand covering her mouth. She tried to move
her arms, but they were pinned to her side. Desperately, she tried to kick her
legs, but they wouldn’t move. She attempted to twist her body but could barely
move. Tiny was pinned down to the ground.
Helpless, the tears leaked down the side of
her eyes, wetting her neck before disappearing in the grass behind her body.
“Well, well, well. What do we have here?”
the menacing voice boomed in Tiny’s ear. “I think Santa is a little early this
year.” A chorus of harsh laughter rang out into the night. A cold chill ran
down Tiny’s spine.
Visibly shuddering, her panic intensified,
again, Tiny tried to move her body, but to no avail.
“Relax!” the command echoed in her ear.
“You give us a hard time, and I’ll put a bullet in your skull. Understand?”
But Tiny writhed even more. Twisting this
way, turning that way, she felt her body loosen a little against the human
restraints. A burst of energy washed over her, and she kicked out her right
leg, making contact with something soft. Angry expletives reverberated in the
air.
Baff! A hard
fist connected with Tiny’s left eye, snapping her head further back into the
grass. Pain exploded in her head as she thrashed wildly in the grass. Arms
frantically tried to hold her. But she bit into the hand over her mouth and
screamed in terror.
Tiny was slapped repeatedly. Her face was
on fire. Undeterred, like a wildcat, she clawed and yelled. “Help! Help!
Somebody, help me!”
