Resolution: The Red Clay Desert-4
About this ebook
Jane could see that the young Chinese girl was being violated by five pairs of persistent hands vigorously squeezing and prodding her.
Where is the man with those eyes? Jane thought.
When Jane could stand no more she screamed at the top of her voice. In the desert darkness Janes violent outcry was so startling that three desert men jumped to their feet pulling large knives from hiding places in raggedy desert garb.
Jane heard a popping sound and two of the men slumped to the ground. The escape of the other men was almost a cartoon-like reflex. She saw three bandits in an immediate simultaneous crouching sprint toward the protection of darkness at the edge of the fi relight circle. The popping sound came once more and two runners dropped face down on the clay. One runner continued, then two, then none.
