I felt Cord tug me closer to him so my hip was settled next to his. He pulled me so I was leaning against his hard body. No words were said as it was ...ery loud, until it was nearly time for us to jump. Cord gave me instructions on what we’d do once we were in the air. I was terrified. As we reached jump height we were strapped together, me in front of him so my ass was nestled snuggly into his groin. We walked to the now open door, and straight out into the open air. I screamed as loud as I. He’d seen only one person since escaping his pursuers, an old woman carrying a bundle of dirty rags down a dirt path. She hadn’t even looked up as he zoomed past her.Whether his pursuers had given up, Logan had no way of knowing.He gathered his wits after leaving the vehicle and found a high spot on the rise which overlooked the complex. The sounds of gunfire had exploded below him and Finch’s heart raced with fear and excitement. This hero stuff is intense! Three or four large black high-hull. One day everyone was my size then the next day … I was the shortest on the team. And my older brothers? Billy was already near Dad’s height and he’s only sixteen! Mark was jumping up just as fast. Damn it, we’re all just one year apart yet I look like I’m five years younger than they are. ‘Growth spurt, growth spurt. He’ll get a growth spurt.’ Dad keeps talking like it’s going to happen any day now. Well, any day doesn’t seem to be happening any day soon. What was Mom going to do? That thought. They soon began relating stories of how he and they would interact and even play together some in the middle of the night sometimes if his feeding/changing coincided with him feeling more playful and awake for a while. There was universal agreement among these women who had become such a part of our lives to one degree or another over the past few years – that coming to our hometo care for Ryan overnight was what they had considered a ‘plum assignment’, and they so looked forward to it. Ryan.
