Fifty feet before reaching the truck, Lyle reached out and pushed the woman forward. She lost her balance and tumbled to the hard, dark pavement and screamed. Lyle took her by the hair and shirt and dragged her to the roadside. The woman kicked and screamed but couldn't break free. In the distance, white light reflected off the tops of several trees. Lyle stood still and watched. The light grew brighter and worked its way down. Headlights! Someone was coming!
