CHAPTER TWELVE

Tension threaded through Jason’s torso as he watched the glaring taillights of Nick Solomon’s truck.

Through the use of a chopper, the Bureau had alerted him to their position. He’d slipped in to tail Nick’s truck as soon as they were close to town. From the outside, it looked like Isabel had switched loyalties back to her old boyfriend. From the chatter on the radio, that was what the Bureau thought. He knew otherwise. Back on that remote road, Isabel had saved his life.

When she left him, it had taken him less than half an hour to get picked up by one of the agents. The Bureau had scrambled to put moving surveillance on Nick and Isabel.

Now it was his job to get to Isabel and have her explain herself to the agents in charge.

Nick’s truck came to a stop outside the Sun and Ski office on the opposite side of the street.

Jason turned his own car up an alley and killed the lights. He slipped out onto the street.

Isabel and Nick got out of the car. She handed him something and he gave her a hug.

A twinge of doubt played at the corners of Jason’s mind. She sure hugged him like she cared about him. Maybe Jason just didn’t like the idea of her hugging anyone. He was starting to have feelings for her.

Isabel crossed the street. Nick got back in the truck but didn’t drive away. So that was his game. He was going to watch her all night.

Jason slipped around to the back of the building. The offices were dark. Even if they didn’t lock up during the day, they must lock the place at night. The window of Isabel’s little apartment looked like the old-fashioned kind that would swing open if it wasn’t latched. He climbed on top of a Dumpster that was just beneath the window. He shimmied up a pipe and hooked his hands onto the windowsill.

He hung there for a moment wondering if he’d made a mistake. The rough texture of the brick wall provided him with enough traction to push with his feet until his hand touched the bottom of the window.

He pushed on the window. It didn’t budge.

He heard footsteps in the alley.

Jason tried to pull himself up but felt his arms straining against his weight. He was going to fall on the hard metal of the Dumpster, or worse—onto the concrete below.

The footsteps grew louder. No one else would be up at this hour. That had to be Nick doing some sort of patrol around the building.

He was about ready to let go and make a run for it when the window swung open and hands wrapped around his wrists. Isabel pulled him through the window. They sat on the floor in the dark.

“Stay low. He’s out there.”

“I know. I stayed on the couch so I could watch him through the front window. I saw him leave his truck,” she said.

The window above them was still open. Would that be a red flag to Nick?

He held his breath, tuning his ears to the sounds outside.
