Symptoms Of Death (Dr. Alexandra Gladstone Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
He became aware of a warm trickle of blood down his face and into his eyes and of a burning sensation high on his forehead and realized the bullet had only grazed his head. Yet, he was bleeding profusely. He heard the two men who had accosted him run away into the darkness. His confusion lingered as he tried to decide whether to pursue them or see to his own wound. In the next instant he heard someone groaning and remembered the coach driver. Wiping the blood away from his eyes, he moved in the direction of the sound. “Is that you, Driver? Are you all right?” He groped his way in the darkness until he stumbled upon the man, still lying in a crumpled heap on the ground. The man groaned again. “Oooh, me bloody head feels like it’s been crushed.” He groped for Nicholas’s hand. “Where’s the coach? And the ’orses?” As if in answer, one of horses neighed from a short distance away where the team had run with the coach.
