75 Days
For a second, all I can do is lie there on the floor, staring up at the spot where just seconds ago, a dog was about to rip out my throat.
I just focus on evening out my breathing, and calming my racing heart. I've had a lot of close calls, especially recently with the Warriors, but this was so much more real. That dog could have killed me and, if my savior hadn't shown up when they did, I'd be dead right now.
When I glance at the door to the store, I'm surprised to see Ryder standing there with an assault rifle in his hands. It's sleek, black, and incredibly dangerous looking. Even scarier is that he looks like he knows how to use one, and has been doing it for years.
