“Hey, hey, I thought we were calming down.” Ellis touched his arm, again trying to get Nash to focus on him instead of Gilbert. Nash recoiled, Ellis’ hands on him were wrong.

Arlo fought a new wave of nausea and crawled forward. His insides cramped and he needed to retch again, but this was his chance. They were arguing, and if he only could crawl in behind the small barn less than ten feet away, he could hide in the shadows.

He moved his hands, the ground wet against his palms, and proceeded on his knees. A hiss sounded behind him—not Nash, at least he didn’t think so.
