Suddenly, out of the dark, she watched in shock as Dillon flew through the air, slammed into the guy, and knocked him to the ground. The barrel of his handgun pushed up under the guy's chin. Dillon threw something back toward her car and when it landed, she saw it was a gun."Where's the boy, big man?" Dillon bellowed, as he sat on him, his legs straddling his wide girth. The sound of a trigger being cocked reverberated throughout the otherwise quiet darkness. She watched in awe as Dillon shoved the gun harder under his chin while the man on the ground raised his hands above his head. "I'm not going to ask again. You have three seconds to answer, or I'll blow your fuckin' head off." Dillon's bellow echoed in the cool breeze, bouncing off the cemetery tombstones. His eyes never wavered from his victim's face.Avri saw the man's lips move slightly but couldn't hear them distinctly. Dillon reached behind his back with his free hand and yanked something from the waist of his pants. He pl

Elliott strode to the porch and stopped. His gaze moved between Chase and Dillon."You ready?" Elliott asked, staring at Chase's face, not wavering for a moment to glance at Dillon."Yup, let's go. Dillon, come on." Chase stood and stepped off the porch. "We're goin' for a ride, and we're goin' to straighten everything out once and for all."Sounded good to Dillon. He stood and followed Chase and Elliott to the barn, not missing the glances they shared, especially once they all entered the barn and three horses stood ready, saddled up, and anxious to run.Chase and Elliott rode out of the barn leaving Dillon standing beside a horse, his mouth hanging open. What the fuck?Dillon mounted his horse and took off at a gallop after them. He knew where they were headedto the old fort where they'd played as kids. Later it was where they'd shared the details about their first sexual experiences, where they'd discussed colleges, girlfriends, business, and life in general. Dillon wondered wh

Avri raced around the corner and parked in front of Rosie's Diner. She hurried through the front door and almost ran into Susan."Hi," she said, "you're exactly who I'm looking for," Avri said, trying to catch her breath."I am? What can I do for you, Hun?" Susan, the owner, looked up and asked."Remember a few years ago, while I was pregnant, and I stayed in your room upstairs?""Yes, I remember."Avri gripped Susan's arm, hoping. "Have you rented it out since?" What were the chances Dillon's note would still be there?"Don't think anyone's stayed up there since. It's full of junk I've accumulated. Storage stuff. Why?" Susan asked."I think I might have left something behind." Avri asked, "Could I have the key to check?" Avri's hand squeezed Susan's arm tighter."Yes, of course." Susan nodded. "Let me get it for you." She stepped to the cash register, pushed a couple buttons, and the drawer flew open. Searching the contents of a compartment, she retrieved a key and handed it t

Lauren rinsed the lunch dishes and placed them in the dishwasher. She glanced out the side window toward the drive numerous times, expecting Chase to be back with her parents. Her cell phone rang, and she yanked it out of her back pocket."Hello," Lauren said, without checking caller ID."Lauren, it's Janelle.""Jan, it's so wonderful to hear your voice. How are you?""I'm freezing my ass off here," Janelle said."It's winter, girl. It's cold here too, with lots of snow on the ground. Great forsnowmobiling."Janelle didn't say anything, so Lauren asked, "Jan, you still there?""Yes, yes, I'm sorry. I want to tell you something and I'm not sure how to say it.""Hey, in all the years we've been friends, and there were quite a few, you've never been at a loss for words. Just spit it out." Lauren said, holding the phone under her chin.　"Clint's out," Janelle spat out."What? I must have heard you wrong. Clint can't be out of prison yet. He has another yearor two." Lauren's

Chase opened the back door at the same time Lauren's parents entered the kitchen. "Dinner smells good, sweetie." Chase leaned down and kissed Lauren on the lips."I don't really smell anything," Charlotte said, sniffing the air.Steve rolled his eyes. "You know you have no smell sensation, Char, so just stop it. We'll have a great dinner, right Lauren?""You're absolutely right, Dad. Once I put the baby down, I'll finish it up and get it on the table," Lauren said as she started toward the front stairs, she motioned for Chase to come with her. He followed her up the stairs.Chase closed the bedroom door as soon as they entered. "Are you okay," he asked.She laid the baby in his crib and turned to Chase; his arms outstretched. "I'm scared." She hugged his neck. "What'd you find out from Mitch?""It's true, he's out. He's on parole so he's not allowed to leave the state, but Mitch cautioned me about Clint, he could easily violate his parole. Then when or if he doesn't show up to me
