‘Going to take me out?’ Nan got to her feet quickly.
‘What about him?’ pointing at Rex.

‘But we can’t leave him here alone.’
‘The hell we can’t? What’ll stop us?’
‘Why, he will die. Don’t you understand? We can’t leave him there.’
‘He stays, do yuh sabe that? I’ll take you out.’
‘Go ahead, Nan,’ panted Rex. ‘You—you can tell where I am, don’t you see?’
‘A hell of a lot of good it’ll do,’ laughed the man. He pointed at the circling buzzards meaningly. Nan knew what he meant, and her face went white.
