Organization- Killing Holden

She glanced at the road ahead of them, then looked back at Holden in time to see the shadow moving behind him. He was smiling as the scythe curved around his throat and flicked, opening his skin, tearing the meat of him, spraying the windscreen with a splash of blood, and she screamed, falling from her seat and pressing back against the side door as she saw who was there.

Father Buckner. The family killer, the murderer, the zombie, pressing his knee to the back of the driver’s seat as he tried to tug the scythe free.

Holden’s hands were still on the wheel, his eyes wide, body pulled back tight against the seat by the rusted blade buried deep in his throat. Blood bubbled there as he tried to scream.
...

—and then the scythe came free with a wet sucking sound, and arterial blood geysered from the wound as Holden’s terrified heart thumped and pummeled, splashing the windscreen and spattering across Dana’s face and throat. She held up her hands and felt its warm impact, soft as a wet kiss across her wrist, and she screamed again because she knew what was to come.

Holden’s hands lifted from the steering wheel as he tried to hold in his blood. They pressed to his ruined throat, finding meat and bone and gristle instead of skin, and the big wheel jerked and spun unchecked.

We’ll hit a tree, Dana thought, and Father will go through the windscreen and I’ll pull Holden aside and—

But the Puppeteers would never allow that to happen.

As she wiped thick arterial blood from her eyes a shadow whipped through the air and she heard thwack! as Buckner buried the scythe’s point into the side of Holden’s head.

Dana gasped at what had been done to the man she had kissed and caressed just hours before. His throat was open and spewing, one eye had erupted from its socket, and his face was distorted by the metal buried deep behind it.
