The animal he’d borrowed in South Fork seemed game for the journey and displayed fine spirit despite the drizzle, raging water, and washed-out roads. At places along the route, Jack had to stop and pick his way over a washout, but the horse never hesitated when Jack dug his heels deep in the animal’s sides. Just as the valley came into view and the terrain flattened, the horse’s strides became more sure, but a deep-throated rumble brought Jack’s attention around. He spurred the animal, sure he knew what danger caused the sound. The water would have cut through by now. Jack crossed the bridge into Johnstown when another rumble swelled through the air. He dared a glance over his left shoulder and saw a black mist and a yellow wall of water. His heart jumped and pounded. Cold sweat popped up along his back and forehead. He pulled the horse up hard and vaulted to the ground. Turning, he gave the animal a hard smack on the rump, and it took off.
