She’d be dead now if Ryan hadn’t pushed her away.

Although she was frozen, colder than she could ever recall being in her life, Elise was grateful to be alive.

Thanks to the brave man striding at her side.

Another shudder coursed through her from the chill seeping into her bones. Her teeth were chattering so violently she could hear them. No matter how hard she rubbed her hands up and down her arms, she couldn’t seem to get warm. It had been a hot day when they’d left LaMar Pond, but the temperature had dropped—and the sky had darkened alarmingly.

“We need to find a way to warm you up,” Ryan said. She jumped guiltily. Surely, he had enough to worry about. “It’s my fault. If I hadn’t shoved you into the water—”

“If you hadn’t shoved me, I would have been shot. Trust me, I’d much rather be cold and walking than dead.”

He smiled slightly, but she could still read the concern in his eyes.

The jarring ring of his phone broke the tension. “It’s the chief again.” He accepted the call. “Parker here.”

His face darkened. It can’t be good news. He stopped walking, his frown deepening. “Are you sure?...We’re on foot. I had to abandon my truck beside the bridge...Will do.”

He disconnected and turned to her. “I have good news and bad news. Want to hear the good news first?” She nodded. “The man I shot is still alive and has regained consciousness. Also, according to the chief, he’s feeling talkative. He has no idea why you were targeted, but your house was bugged. And so was my cruiser. We were discussing where we were headed this morning before we changed vehicles.”

Her jaw dropped. “How’d they know—”

“I was seen at your house the morning of the break-in. I wasn’t aware of Dellon’s connection to your case, or his location as your neighbor, but I do recall feeling as though I was being watched.”

“I felt that way, too!” How could she have forgotten that?

“Yeah, well, he took pictures of me and my cruiser. It wasn’t too hard to figure out who I was. So he tagged my vehicle. That’s how he knew we were heading for the bridge. I mentioned my route when I was talking to the chief this morning. Anyway, he figured they’d cut us off at the pass, so to speak. They knew we were there. Fortunately, they didn’t know what my off-duty vehicle was. Otherwise, they’d have headed straight toward us.”

He took off his baseball cap and scratched the back of his head. “The bad news is that Dellon and two of his buddies got away. Dellon shot one of his own men to get the motorcycle. The police got the other one.”

“And the people on the bridge?” She almost didn’t want to know. She’d never forgive herself if anyone had been hurt, even though she hadn’t been at fault.

“All fine. As soon as the police arrived, our brave criminals tried to run for it. There would have been no benefit in fighting the police, not when their target was nowhere in sight.
