'Is it sniffing for the humans inside?' Sparrow's mind raced, trying to piece together the creature's behavioral pattern. It seemed to be deliberately holding back, resisting the urge to strike, as though it were rationing its prey.
But why? Was it waiting for more survivors to arrive, fattening the shelter's numbers so it could feast on a larger meal later?
Sparrow didn't understand, but something about its behavior was undeniably strange. The creature crawled back into the shadows from where it came, its gaze fixed on the shelter.
Even Sparrow felt his skin crawl under that watchful stare. If it was observing like this, did it deliberately let Adam and his team leave without interfering? Why? Could it be that it wanted Adam to bring back more people?
