All Chapters of Moon Glow: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Taji holstered the gun in the back of his belt and walked to the window where Christos had been keeping lookout moments before. “I will lead. Girls you follow close unless I wave you off. Lyle you cover the flank. Stay together. We are heading for that black Rover.” He sent to everyone. They stood in silence at the ready waiting for the diversion to start. A loud boom followed by a great plume of dirt and rubble on the far side of the adjacent hill. Every head in the parking lot turned and then they all started moving toward the explosion. Taji motioned with a grin, “I guess that’s our signal. Why does Jay always get to play with the explosives?” He said half jokingly. They all moved out the door and to the right. The Rover was not too far off and they all got to their doors quickly. Rather than automatically unlocking it, he used the key inside the fob and pushed the unlock button on the inside of the driver’s door once it was open, so the car would not beep and draw attention. Everyo

Lyle held his hand there a little longer. He did not want his friend to be gone. There was a faint flutter under the pressure of Lyle’s fingers. Very quickly Lyle handed Amaris to Jason and ordered him to lay her on the couch and told Anna to stay with her. Anna did as she was asked with tears rolling down her cheeks. Lyle turned back to Marco and found that he was not breathing. He started CPR. Lyle worked for no more than a minute or two and Marco started breathing on his own. He had come to. He was a little groggy, but he seemed to be healed. They helped him up into the recliner that was next to the couch. Lyle reached over and touched Amaris to check that she was still ok. Christos, who had been standing back watching the scene, now came forward and looked at both Amaris and Marco. “What happened to you?” He said speaking to Marco. Marco looked at Christos. “I decided to take the tunnel that you came out of and go back to the temple while the gunman followed all of you. I thought

As the door rose everyone scrambled to find a weapon and cover. They were all strapped in so it made it difficult. The small group were ready to leave. Jason mind linked everyone. As soon as the door is halfway up, start the engine and put it in gear. We leave on my signal. Stay close. “. Amaris saw Jason speaking into his wrist watch. The lights inside suddenly dimmed very low. If her eyes had not been used to the dim indoor lights she would have been blind. Looking back to the door Amaris was able to see that there were at least a dozen pairs of legs standing there. Panic rushed through Amaris at the thought of being out numbered. The door had risen to waist height when one figure leaned down and peaked under the door. Amaris let out a sigh of relief. It was Anna’s grinning face looking back at her from under the door. She quickly scooted under the door and ran to Amaris and wrapped her in a hug. “I am so glad to see you. We brought back up!” She said with a wide smile. Anna pointed

Amaris gave a sigh of relief. From the little she knew about Lyle, she knew that he had been very close to his father. While she had never seen the watch before she knew it must hold a lot of sentimental value for him. Taji spread out on the table and everyone gathered around him to watch him work. He laid out his tools with care. He picked up the watch and examined it. He took out the jeweler’s loop and looked more closely at the outside of the watch. Taji put his hands down, turned quickly and shot a quizzical look at Lyle. He then went back to inspecting the watch. “Where did your father get this watch?” Taji asked turning to Lyle once again. “My father returned from a business trip and he had gotten it. It was always very special to him. He was never without it. When I got older he made it clear that I was to inherit the watch and my brother to inherit the coat of arms that was made specially for our family. He brought that back with him from that same trip also. “ Lyle had now m

Amaris snuggled into Lyle's shoulder and stared out the window on the opposite side of the train car. The underground lights and the stone flew by at an amazing speed. She had not noticed until that moment that they had been moving so fast. The island was small. If they kept up this pace, they would be at the opposite side in no time. Looking over at the rest of the group, Amaris noticed that they were deep in conversation. She nudged Lyle and motioned for him to follow her over to the group. Lyle and Amaris walked over and sat with the others. Anna and Taji turned and smiled at them in greeting, but no one else acknowledged their prescence. Marco and Christos seemed to be in a deep discussion while Jason was furiously typing on his phone. “We will get to my grandmothers’ cottage and hunker down there. Since we are no longer being tracked, we may actually get time to compare notes and figure a few things out.” Christos said to the group. “We are going to need to go on the offensive a
