Adrian had never thought a child, no older than eight would be the reason for his downfall. He had no idea how the kid got to know about him as he had scanned the barn thoroughly for any witnesses last night.
But it was true as the kid pointed a trembling finger toward Adrian, his voice shaking as he accused, "That man is behind the missing people!"
Shoka turned around, and his eyes locked on Adrian. With a signal, he instructed the others to get their weapons and follow him. The tribals dismounted from their tiaks and approached Adrian.
'Shit!' Adrian thought, gulping down saliva.
Adrian's heart pounded in his chest as he watched Shoka and his tribals slowly head towards him. Adrenaline flooded his veins as he tried to find a way out of the situation. But before he could make a move, Shoka and his men were upon him.
With no time to spare, Adrian braced himself for a fight, his muscles tensing as he prepared to defend himself.
