Before I could do anything, she broke into a freaked-out gallop, careering down the beach faster than a missile. The camera jerked, but I managed to keep filming, wrapping my legs round Sunshine so tightly they went tingly.
Kai shouted something behind me. I couldn’t hear what it was, but his voice sounded panicked.
