going to attack, I hold the bus horn down and let it sound on and on until everyone knows it’s meant as a warning.”
Nahum turned away from his mirror and looked at her, frowning. “It would have to be timed perfectly. We can’t risk warning the interlopers away before they do something that’s a recognizable crime, not just an innocent mistake. We need your father in jail, not angry with us and planning his revenge.”
“I know. But if they smash down the gate to enter—and it’s locked, so their only other choice is to pick the lock—won’t that be a sign?”
“They’ll pick the lock. I’m sure those boys are expert lock pickers. We’ll have to wait until they actually break into the house and just hope they do it before the panthers get back and encounter them unaware.”
Fuck! “How long do you think they’ll run for? How long has it been?” Judith wasn’t going to say she’d taken a sexy nap and lost track of the time herself.
“Almost an hour. Likely they’ll be back soon. I bet that’s what your father is waiting for.”
Just then Nahum pulled his cell phone out of his pocket. Judi hadn’t heard any noise so he must have had it on vibrate.
She waited while Nahum grunted and then called someone else. “Tony? They’ve broken in through a back fence and are coming through the fields in a four-wheel drive. With luck, they’ll get bogged or break an axle, but watch your back.”
While he was talking, Judith took the mirror from him and tilted it so she could see out the window. She was just in time to see someone open the gate and the SUV drive through it. The person who’d opened the gate jumped back in the vehicle, and it raced toward them down the driveway.
“Here they come now,” she whispered.
“I know. They’ve broken in at the back of the property as well. It’s a pincer movement. As soon as they enter the house, you can sound the horn, but stay on the floor when you do it and wait for my word.” Nahum put the keys in the ignition so she only had to turn them on to make the horn work and slithered away to his brothers. He made the whole commando crawl thing look easy.
She watched his delightful ass wiggling down the bus aisle and licked her lips. Yeah. This was totally the wrong time and place for sexy dreams, but her libido wasn’t listening.
Chapter Four
Nahum dragged his mind away from Judith, the beautiful woman who’d been smart enough to think of a way to warn their Alpha about the trouble waiting for him back at the farm. Now he only had to worry that Lutterworth would be stupid enough to commit a crime before they ran out of time.
Very softly, not wanting the surrounding women and children to hear, he told his brothers about the attackers arriving from the front and the rear of the property.
“We have to tell the people on the bus about the ones approaching us now and ensure they stay in here,” he finished.
“We’ll answer any questions the people have but keep it toned down so you don’t frighten the children,” said Naftali.
That was easy for him to say but not so easy to do.
Pitching his voice as softly as possible he said, “Some people who aren’t friends are arriving, and we don’t want them to spoil the run for our pack. So we’re going to stay here very quietly until they’re in the house, and then we’re going to frighten them away. Your job is not to spoil the surprise. You all have to be very quiet.”
The younger children seemed to think it was all part of the game, but some of the women looked worried, and Naftali and Nelson immediately crawled down the aisle to offer support to them.
Fortunately, no one called out to ask a question because when Nahum put up his mirror it was just in time to see the black SUV stop right in front of the house and six young men jump out of it.
He watched carefully, but they were all gang members he thought. Unfortunately, Lutterworth wasn’t among them. He checked in his mirror, but although
