Prologue
"Come on, Gus keep up with me!" Shawn panted, craning his neck to peer behind him at his friend. Gus staggered through the thick brush, tripping and stumbling unceremoniously. Shawn's left hand was twisted awkwardly behind his back and Gus's right hand was thrown forward. Why were they like this? Shawn and Gus were handcuffed. Together. "Hurry!" Shawn screamed, panic in his voice as growling increased behind them. They skidded out of the woods, and paused on the edge of the cliff, looking down that the frothing water below, handcuffs clinking loudly. They exchanged a glance, and jumped.
