The Effacing (Book 1.5): Valley's End
Page 7
“What about Bleeders and Trackers?” Ann asked.
“Rebekah responded, “We get everyone off the streets.”
“And what if we don’t have that option?” asked Maria.
“We’ll worry about that later.”
“We don’t even stand have a chance!” the lumberjack biker thought, out loud.
Side-by-side with her mother and brother, Neshia just happened to be near the discussion, getting an earful, sticking close to her heroine in enemy garments. And it was a damn good thing she was. She spotted Sworn’s men on the east side of Maison, informed her comrades without more ado.
Sworn’s convoy was at a halt, just the bumpers of their jeeps peeped out from the left side of the street, like they were waiting on a red light to switch green that never would. Everything was fairly dark, and the only light came from the ‘becoming normal’ fires that were spread throughout the entire city. The rear of a trailer – only there was a steel cage attached – in between the jeeps, sat firm to the wet pavement, its gate open with two guards on both sides. There was no time to talk, definitely no time to argue.
Maria had some questions for Rebekah, figured she was hiding something, which she was. The survivors were ready for anything. Well, almost anything, they weren’t too keen of becoming Bleeder bait. Who would be? The children were safe as long as everything worked out as planned, they’d all be headed toward the docks in no time – maybe after an out-skilled gunfight and an attempted gladiator-style beat down. At this time Ann didn’t really care, she knew more than she was telling, something that would shake the foundation of Rebekah and the group, but not too much Maria, because she was in on it. And the real question wasn’t whether they would make it to the docks or not. The question on everyone’s thoughts was… what might have been waiting on them when they got there.
Sworn’s eerie pitched siren erupted once again. A howl echoed around the survivors, and another… and another. And shadows of the sick, emerged from the buildings behind them.
“What now?” Jim questioned.
“You walked us into a trap!” the lumberjack biker asserted.
“No,” Rebekah defended herself from his accusation. “It was someone else.” She grimaced toward Ann.
A howl extended from atop the building structure.

How far will Rebekah go to help a complete stranger?
When Lane awakens from an Egyptian vacation nightmare, his nearest and dearest all have the bug. His girlfriend claims to be his sister, his son isn’t his own, and a call to the police forces him to the streets in search of answers.
Rebekah, the adventurous young daughter of a wealthy conservationist, has an odd liking for Lane, curious of his dilemma. She partners with him through his riveting investigation, and by the days end she encounters more than enough challenges to seduce her audacious desires.
Together, Rebekah and Lane find themselves on a road to the unknown, and once comradely issues amongst the two erupt, they understand they’ll face a few more grave spirals and kinks before reaching the climatic truth and finding Lane’s loved ones… before it’s too late.
REBEKAH’S LANE– predecessor to The Effacing series – is a mysterious mind-altering urban sci-fi adventure.
