Sophia was still in the car.
Rebecca snapped into action. “Bring the girl inside. Now.”
Jude rushed out.
About a hundred meters up the lane, a black car had stopped.
Four men stepped out.
They moved with the smooth precision of people used to this kind of work.
Jude got Sophia inside, locked the door, and killed the house light.
Darkness swallowed the room.
Through the window, they watched the men come through the gate.
Rebecca stood beside Jude, close enough for him to feel her trembling.
