Don't Look Back (Warders Of Earth) - Plot & Excerpts
Outside I knew night was falling. Shadows were thick and dark where we waited. We’d been lucky to escape a direct hit to the building. The steel roof of the pit might be strong but I was glad we hadn’t cause to test its might against a meteorite impact. I knew nothing about engineering but I doubted we would have escaped alive. But our chances were better here than being inside a house. “Do you think it’s over?” I asked through a throat as dry as sand paper. Bob Garroway tossed me a six hundred millilitre water bottle, saying, “Make it last.” What a charmer. I unscrewed the top and with my hand shaking like I was a ninety-year-old woman, chugged down four, blessedly cool, mountain stream smooth, mouthfuls. When I finished I offered it to my brother who took it with a mumbled, ‘Thanks’. “Alex, check it out,” ordered Garroway. Warder or not, the guy was an arsehole. Shay and Alex rolled back the pit lid before Alex crossed to my side to retrieve his rifle. I laid a hand on his arm.
