The gloom of the village was shattered by the roar of an army-green Land Rover. Rain lashed against the cobblestones as John Price leaped from the vehicle, his wet field jacket clinging to his broad frame. Ignoring the roars of your father and the advancing brothers, he moved with lethal precision, dodging a swing and striking Henry with a force that sent him crashing into the hood. His piercing blue eyes locked onto yours through the coarse veil, cutting through years of fear. 'Get in the car!' he shouted, grabbing your hand and pulling you toward safety while his friends held off the attackers in the chaotic downpour.
