TEN

This was the one place Casper remembered Russell telling him to go to—if trust was an issue. Those were the words that he’d added. He’d remembered the key code and they were able to get inside. The day had been a long one, and after Casper medically checked Ashley to ensure her lung was behaving itself, he tucked her into a bedroom with a dose of Tylenol and insisted she sleep.

Here they should be safe. They would be able to get the thumb drive into a computer without it tripping a baited trap. Ashley had been sullen most of the day...their conversation only at the barest minimum after she tossed the necklace out the window. Seemingly, getting rid of the jewelry had done the trick. They hadn’t been followed. Daringly, they’d even stopped at a mom-and-pop sub shop for food and waited, almost tempting their captors to find them, and not a single person had entered the fast-food dive as they ate.

In the living room was a fireplace—this one easy to light. With the flick of a switch it was on. Casper sat on the couch, warm bottled water next to him. Ashley had refused to eat anything for dinner, which gnawed at his gut. However, he didn’t feel like he could push her anymore. She was at her limit. She needed rest. A clear mind. They were still being hunted with no end to their predicament in sight.

Guilt washed over him. He’d wanted to tell Ashley something, but he couldn’t bring the words from his lips. Saying them out loud, especially to someone else, would mean they could never be taken away. It would solidify them, and for most of the day he’d wrestled with whether or not what he’d remembered was actually true.

A small container of microwave mac and cheese sat next to the water untouched. He forced a bite into his mouth. One of them had to keep their strength up. Sad to say, but he was in better shape than Ashley, even as broken as he felt.

Because he remembered Ethan dying.

What was at stake now was more than just keeping the two of them alive. They’d had intelligence about a probable bioweapons attack. That was what he and Ethan had been trying to prevent and likely what Jared Fleming was trying to perpetuate.

Massive death.

But why? What would cause a patriot to turn against his own country? To unleash a deadly bioweapons attack against his own people? Casper knew he had to determine the answer to that question. If he could understand his enemy—his motivations—maybe deciphering the pieces that Ashley and he held would be the only thing to stop the coming wave.

Did Ethan’s family know he was gone? Casper felt like it was his duty to tell them. What had happened to his body? He remembered their brutal assault getting interrupted by the burly man walking the dog. The zipping pain through his chest that had brought him back to life. His memory was clear, but there was still so much unknown.
