she could, Sarah moved off the narrow dirt trail and into the thick forest surrounding the open clearing. She didn’t want to go far but she knew the last place she wanted to be standing when Mason decided to start looking for her, was right in the middle of the same trail that lead back to his father’s cabin. Moving over a carpet of dry pine needles that snapped and crackled beneath her and dug painfully into the tender flesh of her feet, she crept to a place about forty feet away from the trail where she could crouch down and keep an eye on Mason. In any other situation she would have burst out laughing, watching the big man marching around and around his pickup truck like some kind of toy soldier, stark naked except for his boots. There was nothing funny about this game they were playing though; and one wrong move or unnecessary sound could mean the difference between life and death.  
    Sarah carefully lowered herself to the ground and sat cross-legged beneath the bows of a large pine tree. Several long, sharp pine needles jabbed her painfully in the ass and upper legs but she managed to wiggle into a fairly comfortable position and settled in to wait. If she moved her head just a few inches to the left, she could see Mason making his rounds, his bow drawn and ready to fire at the first sign of an intruder. Good…he’ll tire himself out all the faster that way. At some point he’ll give up and go back to the cabin.
    Unfortunately, it didn’t happen.
    It might have, but in the end it was Sarah who ran out of patience first. After a full hour of sitting immobile her legs were starting to cramp, and she was so itchy she felt ready to scream. Another ten minutes of silent suffering and she knew she had to do something soon or she’d make a noise that would give her hiding place away. If she did that, she was in big trouble, so before it was too late Sarah carefully stood up and spent a minute stretching her legs. From here she knew that she had two choices. She could slowly back away deeper into the forest and take her chances alone in the woods, or she could make her stand right here and now. It wouldn’t be dark out for several more hours yet but just the thought of having to spend the night naked in the woods was more than she could bear. No, she was tired of taking the safe, cowardly approach so retreating wasn’t an option she wanted to consider. Not when there was a perfectly good vehicle parked less than thirty feet away — one that she just happened to have the keys for.  
    The keys? Sarah thought, an idea forming in her mind. What if I wait until he’s at the closest point to me in his march, and then I toss the keys into the bed of the pick-up? The metal keys hitting the metal truck bed will make a noise as loud as a gunshot going off. Mason will surely spin around to see what made the racket. If I time it right, I can duck out from under this tree and take him out before he knows what’s happening.
    It might just work too. Mason would nearly jump out of his skin at the unexpected loud noise and she could blindside him while his back was turned. She could stab him high in the back aiming for his lungs or heart, go in low for his kidneys, or maybe even reach around and slit his throat. Whichever target she went after, the important part was she could strike before he knew what hit him. Move fast and strike hard. Don’t give him a chance to get back up.  
    Throw the keys… attack from his blindside… kill the perverted fucker!  
    Throw… attack… kill!
    It was as good of a plan as any. Adrenaline surged through her rested body, her nipples hardening with the excitement of the imminent fight. As crazy as this would have sounded to her a month or a week — hell, even a day ago — she was looking forward to this confrontation. It was the classic battle between David and Goliath and even a non-religious Aussie fetish girl like her knew who had won that fight. Today would be no different. The giant
