After composing herself for a moment, Evelyn Ford got up and went into the bathroom to wash her hands. The blood was sticky. Evelyn ran her hands under hot water for several minutes, scrubbing them with a brush until they were raw and red before she finally managed to clean the grime from under her fingernails.
Ronan Kendrick had been standing outside the door the whole time. He only let out a breath of relief when Evelyn came out. By now, the sky was completely dark. The others were still cleaning up the blood at the main gate. Officer Graham had taken a few people to repair the damaged fence. The bodies of the refugees had already been incinerated. Evelyn stood in front of the cabin, silently gazing at the mountains in the distance.
Just then, Chet Lawrence approached with another man. He was from Fairgate Farm. Several people on their farm had been injured, so Ethan Dawson had sent him to borrow some medical supplies from Evelyn.
