KILL THEM NOW!

IN LEVI’S ARMS, Jo felt much safer than his constant reminders to the contrary should have encouraged. Their discussion would progress faster if they separated and each paced different areas of the hotel room.

The small space seemed to be shrinking when she moved to the opposite wall. Levi’s presence dwarfed everything else around him. Or it might have been her desire to be in his arms, protected.

No, she could fight this feeling. Stay clear of physical contact and fight her urges. Agree with him sending her away once they found her mother’s evidence. Let him believe she’d return to witness protection. After this was said and done, she could take care of herself.

That can be my secret.

She fluffed her short hair, still drying from her quick shower. Levi hadn’t seen it this length. She’d cut it since her last visit home. He hadn’t mentioned it. He actually hadn’t mentioned much at all. Not where he or his family or his real life was concerned.

Something else to ask about later, when life wasn’t chasing them in circles. Stop thinking about Levi. Concentrate on the facts.

“You think my mother’s murderer committed another murder six months ago to draw my father into the open. Honestly, my father was left for dead. For all purposes he did die. This case has gone without scrutiny for so long. It doesn’t make sense to take that risk. Using the weapon that killed those marshals seems illogical. The killers wouldn’t know if my father had access to the ballistics reports.”

“It was in the papers, made national news. Maybe it was a test to see if someone was still watching? Or a threat to a person like LuLu, for instance. Perhaps reestablishing who was in control.”

“It would be smarter to destroy the gun and let sleeping dogs lie.”

“Unless the dog was already rousing.” He paced the length of the room. “From the beginning. Elaine Frasier, big shot attorney comes across something so scary she’s willing to give up her career, the life she knows and protect her family by entering WITSEC.”

“You’re positive the Department of Justice didn’t have a name and as a result of investigating all her clients no dirty laundry was aired?”

“That’s right. So what could she have found? And where’s the evidence?”

“Why do we assume there’s evidence?”

“Someone thinks it exists. They wanted your dad dead.”

“Why assume we can find it after twenty years?”

“Instinct? I don’t know. I could be way off.” He shrugged. “They’ve searched your family’s home. If it were in Dallas, they would have found it.”

“Or they simply wanted the witness to the murder dead to eliminate the possibility of exposure.”

“Good point. Nothing was in the house. If your dad had found anything he would have turned it over to protect you.” He shook his head. “No arguments. I knew your dad.”

I thought I had.

“Did the FBI consider the murderer was out for revenge?”

“There’s nothing in the file to suggest that. We assume that he wants all of your family dead.
