Chapter 10

The two agents got out of the car simultaneously and opened the back doors for Dane and Shana, dragging them out.

“He stopped. Bring us around the front of the car where he won’t have a good view. We’ll do the takedown there.”

The two agents obliged. Once around the front of the car, Dane didn’t wait for Shana before pulling himself free of Warren’s grasp, taking him by surprise like any good prisoner would. He kicked the gun from his hand as Warren automatically went for his weapon.

Shana swung around and hit Vale in the gut with her elbow and then came up and hit him under the chin with her head, knocking him back. She bent and made like she was getting the keys to the unlocked cuffs. If this were real, the agents would have used plastic ties and they’d be out of luck.

Another anomaly he hoped their target would overlook.

Dane dragged Warren out of the way and while he was bent over him he said, “Keys?”

The agent slipped the keys from his pocket and Dane snatched them from his hand. The agent spoke under his breath.

“Take care of that car and keep the comm going.”

Dane winked at the man then jumped in the car as Shana scrambled to get in the passenger side.

“We’re off.” He spoke for Andrews’s benefit then slammed the car into gear and screeched the tires for effect as he took off.

“Is he following?” Dane asked Shana. She nodded as she slouched in the seat and watched from the side mirror.

“He’s keeping his distance. Looks like he’s talking on his cell phone.”

“In that case, we need to make sure we watch out for an ambush.”

“How about if we lose him before they have a chance for an ambush?”

“Where are you heading?” Andrews interrupted.

“It’ll be a surprise.” Dane smirked at Shana as he swerved into the parking lot of the Vineyard Haven Market once again. She laughed.

“The old standby.” She threw her door open the moment he stopped the car, leaving the keys in the ignition. He joined her and they ran toward the market doors, slipping inside as John Doe pulled into the lot.

Dane yanked her arm and dragged her into the fray of grocery shoppers when she stopped to look back.

“Is he in pursuit?”

“Not yet. He stopped when he saw the car parked. But he’ll be inside shortly. I’d bet money on it.”

“Then we need to get out of here. You up for a run home?”

“I’ll beat you there.”

They took off through the market and out the back then launched into a full run down the side streets back to the beach shack.

It wasn’t far, but it was farther than Dane should have run at a full sprint. Keeping his cool when he felt like doubling over as he slammed in through his back door was tougher than the rest of the morning’s challenges put together.

Shana had beat him there by ten yards. That hurt most of all.
