Good Intentions - Adrian Hell #6 (Adrian Hell Series) - Plot & Excerpts
They’re not the fastest of runners, and their crying soon gave away their position. A small group of stragglers at the back all turn as they hear me approach. They all stop and try to hug me at the same time as I draw level with them. I have no idea what they’re saying, but they seem happy.I chuckle nervously, shrugging their hands off me. “Okay, okay… it’s no problem. You’re all welcome. Just…” I take a couple of paces back, putting some distance between them and me. “There we go. That’s right. You’re all okay now.”I recognize one of them as someone who vaguely understood me earlier. I look at her. Her face is thin and gaunt, her eyes dark and sunken. She looks deflated… beaten. I move toward her. “Have you seen Hong Yun? Was she with you when you left?”She frowns for a moment, presumably processing the question, and then shakes her head. “Not… with… us.”Shit.“Okay, thank you.”I look forward and see the main group just up ahead. I break into a light jog and make my way between the trees, avoiding clumps of undergrowth and bushes sticking out as I catch them up.I hope she’s—Wait… What’s that noise?I slide to a stop and look up, squinting in the sun as I search the pockets of smoke-filled sky between the treetops.
