Chapter 14

Sometimes Juliette wondered which of them was the handler. She or Sasha?

The beagle was the one leading her around the bus terminal. After another sleepless night, Juliette was too distracted to focus on the job. It might not have been lack of sleep that was distracting her, though, but thoughts of what she’d done with Blake Colton.

What the hell had she been thinking?

She hadn’t been thinking. She’d just been feeling—so much passion for him. But if it had only been desire, she might not have been worried. Her feelings for Blake went deeper than lust, though.

Gratitude...

Not just for saving her life the night before but for giving her Pandora, as well. Their daughter was the greatest gift Juliette had ever received. At the time she’d learned she was pregnant, she’d been scared and overwhelmed.

But now...

She couldn’t imagine her life without her child in it. Couldn’t imagine not having Pandora to hold. Or seeing her smile.

Just as Mama had said, there was a reason for everything. Pandora was the reason for everything Juliette did now.

She needed to find this killer and put him in jail. She needed her child and her life back. That life hadn’t included Blake.

Would it?

She doubted he would stay in Red Ridge, but would he come back more often to see his daughter? Or once he left, would they be out of his sight, out of his mind?

That must have been the case last time. He couldn’t have looked for her very long before he’d left Red Ridge. And he had never come back to look for her again within those five years. That night—and she—had not meant as much to him as it and he had to her.

She was glad she’d slipped out of bed without awakening him. It would have been even more distracting had he been following her around today.

Sasha emitted a sound deep in her throat, and her hair began to rise on her neck. She’d caught the scent of something...

She’d also caught Juliette’s attention. She shook her head, shaking off the sleepiness and distraction. She had to be focused now. Her life depended on it.

“What do you smell, girl?” Juliette asked.

And the white-and-brown dog turned back and looked at Juliette, as if asking if she was new. What the hell did Juliette think Sasha smelled?

Of course it was drugs. Sniffing them out was Sasha’s specialty.

The beagle had found that small amount of marijuana on someone a few days ago. But this seemed bigger—Sasha seemed more excited, her little body trembling with it.

Juliette and Sasha weren’t the only K9 team at the bus terminal. Carson Gage walked around the lines of people waiting outside for buses, as well. His German shepherd, Justice, was more a tracker than a drug sniffing dog, though.

She could have used them last night to find the killer. But once he’d disappeared into the sewer, probably not even Justice would have been able to track where he’d gone after that.

To her house?

Had he been watching her place last night? Waiting for another chance to shoot at her?

She shivered despite the afternoon heat.
