Take me to the boat, the water will calm us.
The moon wasn’t full, but it was bright enough to make the black waves of the lake sparkle around them. The night was quiet. Only the rustling leaves and the lapping water serenaded their serenity.What happens next?
“This is nice,” Kristina whispered.
Justus had to agree, although he was surprised when she suggested it. She sat across from him, legs crossed, wrists resting on her knees, her eyes closed, soaking up the essence of the night. He should talk to her, or apologize some more, but she seemed so peaceful now, he didn’t want to interrupt her.
HE didn’t have to. Strange sounds caught his attention. He thought his eyes were playing tricks on him when he saw a hunched shadow dart across the lawn, followed by two more.
Then not more than ten feet from them he saw another one moving along the other side of the lake. Justus reached for Kristina, putting a hand over her mouth to keep her from saying anything as he pulled her down in the boat. From the banks they heard two of the men talking.
“She just wants the girl. In and out, no casualties…”
Helena’s men.
And they were heading for the mansion.
