A Few Lines From Deadly Consequences by Jude Pittman:
A shot rang out from the direction of the stables. Kelly
leapt out of his chair, grabbed the gun out of his jacket pocket and slapped
the screen door open.
“What the damn hell?” He yelled as he raced towards the
brood barn, where Jake, alerted by the gunshot, stood in front of the closed
doors barking like a beast gone rabid.
“Easy boy,” Kelly said, approaching the door with his weapon
drawn. “Gilly, you okay in there?” Kelly reached the door and pulled the
handle. It held fast. Someone had apparently locked it from inside.
“Gillian?” Kelly called in a voice laced with fear and Jake
once again started his frantic barking.
“Okay. Stand down.” Kelly spoke to the dog, then placed his
ear against the door and listened.
From inside came the sounds of sobbing.
“Gillian.” Kelly yelled again. “For God’s sake, open the
door.”
