I crawled back to him on my hands and knees?slowly, feeling the ground with care before each
inch I movedI was too afraid to go beyond the pillar, so I hooked my good leg around it, an
anchor again, and leaned around to wedge my hands under Kyle's arms and over his chest
I heaved so hard I nearly pulled my arms from their sockets, but he didn't moveI heard a sound
like the trickle of sand through an hourglass as the floor continued to dissolve into tiny pieces
I yanked again, but the only result was that the trickle sped upShifting his weight was
breaking the floor faster
Just as I thought that, a large chunk of rock plummeted into the river, and Kyle's precarious
balance was overthrown
?No!?I screamed, the rolex submariner watches siren bursting from my throat againI flattened myself against the column
and managed to pin him to the other side, locking my hands around his wide chest
?Help me!? I shrieked?Somebody! Help!?
CHAPTER 33
Doubted
Another splashKyle's weight tortured my arms
?Wanda? Wanda!?
?Help me! Kyle! The floor! Help!?
I had my face pressed against the stone, my eyes toward the cave entranceThe light was bright
overhead as the day dawned
?Wanda! Where are you??
Ian leaped through the door, the rifle in his hands, held low and readyHis face was the angry
mask his brother had worn
?Watch out!? I screamed at him?The floor is breaking up! I can't hold him much longer!?
It took him two long seconds to process the scene that chanel inspired handbags was so different from the one he'd been
expecting?Kyle, trying to kill meThe scene that had been, just seconds ago
Then he threw the gun to the cave floor and started toward me with a long stride
?Get down?disperse your weight!?
He dropped to all fours and scuttled to me, his eyes burning in the light of dawn
?Don't let go,? he cautioned
He assessed for another second, and then slid his body behind mine, pushing me closer to the
rockHis arms were longer than mineEven with me in the way, he was able to get his hands
around his brother
?One, two, three,? he grunted
He pulled Kyle up against the rock, much more securely than I'd had himThe movement
smashed my face into the pillarThe bad side, though?it couldn't gucci g charm ladies stainless steel watch get much more scarred at this
point
?I'm going to pull him to this sideCan you squeeze out??
?I'll try
I loosened my hold on Kyle, feeling my shoulders ache in relief, making sure Ian had himThen
I wriggled out from between Ian and the rock, careful not to put myself on a dangerous section
of the floorI crawled backward a few feet toward the door, ready to make a grab for Ian if he
started slipping
Ian hauled his inert brother around one side of the pillar, dragging him in jerks, a foot at a time
More of the floor crumbled, but the foundation of the pillar remained intactA new shelf formed
about two feet out from the column of rock
Ian crawled backward the way I had, dragging his brother along in short most wanted chloe bag surges of muscle and
willWithin a minute, we were all three in the mouth of the corridor, Ian and I breathing in
gasps
?What? the hell? happened??
?Our weight? was too? much
?What were you doing? by the edge? With Kyle??
I put my head down and concentrated on breathing
What will happen then?
You know what will happenJeb will shoot him, or they'll kick him out
Maybe Ian will beat the snot out of him firstThat would be fun to watch
Melanie didn't really mean it?I didn't think so, anywayShe was just still mad at me for risking
our lives to save our would-be murderernd if they kick Kyle out for me? or kill him? I shudderedell, can't you
see how little sense that would make? He's one of you
