By the time Cooper saw the truck, it was too late. It rammed into the passenger side, jarring him. He managed to bring the SUV to a stop and watched as the truck sped away, tires screeching. He wanted to get the license plate number, but his first concern was Sophie.

“Sophie, are you all right?”

She looked at him, her expression dazed. She had a cut on her face from the shattered window. “Yes. My right arm hurts a little.” She gingerly lifted her arm.

“Don’t move it.” He quickly dialed 911 and asked for assistance. “They’ll be here soon.”

“Did he get away?”

“Yes. I missed it. I never saw the truck coming, and then I couldn’t act fast enough.”

“He was targeting us. Targeting me.” Her words broke as she said them. Her breathing began to speed up.

“Yes. But it could’ve been much worse.”

“You think?”

“He punched the brakes right before impact.”

“What do you think that means?”

“That he wasn’t trying to kill you.”

“That doesn’t make a lot of sense, does it?”

“Not if it was one of Wade’s men. But I think, given the facts, we have to seriously consider that this has something to do with your work on the Shelton case. Your inquiry is expanding, and you started digging into SIB. You were just coming back from a hearing on the Shelton case. He could’ve tracked us from the courthouse. This could all be connected to that. Plus, you’ve shown Leland that you’re going to be aggressive in prosecuting the case.”

“You make a good point.”

“The police will be here soon.”

“And they will probably assume Wade is behind this. Are we going to bring up SIB?” she asked. She was breathing more steadily now, and some of his worry subsided.

“That’s up to you.”

“I’d prefer not to at this point. If we’re wrong, I’d create a really difficult situation for myself in continuing the prosecution. I can’t risk that.”
