Shaw is bigger, stronger. Cole is faster, but that’s of limited use now that

they’re already on the ground. Cole gave up all the advantage when he

tackled Shaw, taking him down before he could plough into me.

Cole turns, wild-eyed, mouth bloody.

“Mara RUN!” he shouts.

I’ve never seen him scared. He thinks he’s going to lose. He thinks we’re

both going to die.

I’ve been trapped in the dead end, pressed up against the cold glass, unable to

move because the fight is too wild, I don’t know to help.

But now I know what to do.

I dart forward, leaping over the men’s churning legs, running away from

them down the narrow passageway.

Shaw gives a strangled yell of range, thinking I’m escaping. Cole is silent,

focused only on Shaw, keeping him right where he is.

So much snow has fallen that for a moment I can’t find it. Then I see the glint

of steel, and I dive my frozen fingers down into the ice, closing my hand

around the handle. I pull out the knife, already stained with Shaw’s blood.

My fingers are so cold that I can hardly feel them, but I grip the handle tight

all the same.

“COLE!” I shout.

He gives me one swift look, and in that moment, the terrifying computer in

his head runs a thousand calculations.

He rolls over onto his back, letting Shaw take the advantage straddling him,

throttling him. Cole puts himself in the vulnerable position, Shaw’s hands

around his throat.

With his own hands, Cole grips a fistful of Shaw’s hair and jerks it back,

while shoving the heel of his palm against Shaw’s jaw, wrenching his head to

the side, exposing his throat.

Our eyes meet. Everything that needs to be said passes between us.
