Free On the Move by Catherine Vale Page A

malnourished and you’re injured. There’s been news articles about you gone missing for months. Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a reward too. But mostly, you need to be away from these savages, back with your own people.”
    With that he jammed the Jeep in gear and they shot off down the steep mountain road.
    There was nothing she could do but wait until they got some place where someone would listen to her.
    She tried to think about anything besides Griffin, but all that kept circling her mind was him watching her walk into the jungle. She should have said she loved him, or let him talk her into staying in the hut.
    But she’d been stubborn and willful, going back to the ruins. And this is where it landed her. She cradled her broken arm against her chest, crying quietly as these strange men drove her away from her home.

    Griffin heard her screams before Daphne burst into the clearing. She collapsed into his arms, gasping for breath.
    “What is it? Where is Addison?” He looked over the girl’s head, looking into the jungle, but she wasn’t there. “Where is Addison?”
    “They took her. Some men came…I think she’s injured. And then they just took her.”
    He wanted to shake her, make her make sense. “Take her where? Who took her? Xavier’s guards?”
    “I don’t know. Not Xavier’s men. Raiders from outside. Strangers.”
    Ramos burst into the clearing, face pale, eyes wide. “Daphne. Are you hurt?”
    Griffin thrust the girl at Ramos. “They’ve taken Addison.”
    He ran through the clearing, calling her name. Others followed, bringing weapons, running after him.
    They skirted the ruins, and Griffin found the ragged path where the men had hacked their way through the jungle. It was easy to follow their messy path down the mountain.
    Ahead he could hear a vehicle running, shouts and calls, and then amid the chaos, he heard Addison’s voice, caught just a word on the air. But it spurred him on and he ran with renewed strength.
    But he was too late. He burst through the final screen of leaves, onto the wider trail. A vehicle was just disappearing around the first bend, sliding in the mud.
    Through the rear window he caught the outline of Addison’s head. She was alive, at least.
    But she was also disappearing and there was nothing he could do. The woman who was carrying his child was gone. The woman he couldn’t tell he loved was gone.
    He threw his head back, crying his loss to the sky, the loss he felt almost tearing his heart from his chest.
