A chill ran down Hope’s back as she stared out at the rows of cars lit by the streetlamps. A motorcycle could be tucked away anywhere. The assassin might not be able to locate their car, but he could watch the entrances for them. She wondered, too, if the man on the motorcycle was the same one who had been with Jason.

This time of night, the ER might be the only entrance that was even open. They couldn’t hope to sneak out some other way.

Andrew shifted in the seat beside her. His shoulder brushed against hers. He was clearly torn apart by Bryson’s death and she wished she could offer deeper comfort to him, to take the pain away. Though she had not known Bryson, she was so connected to Andrew that she felt a chasm from the loss as well.

She let out a breath when Andrew’s phone rang. As she listened to one side of the conversation, it sounded like Valdez would send someone to help them.

Andrew finished up the conversation. “Okay, tell her to look for us just inside the ER waiting room. We should be able to see her coming.” He clicked the disconnect button. “The female agent who dropped off the car is available to escort us to a Bureau office.”

While they waited, several people came into the waiting room. A man pressed a hand over a bleeding cut on his forehead. Then she watched an overwrought mother holding a listless child in her arms. Within ten minutes, a tall blond woman dressed in workout gear made her way toward the waiting room entrance. He recognized her as Agent Julie Fields, the woman who had dropped off the car.

They both rose at the same time as the woman stepped into the interior of the hospital.

She held a hand out to Andrew. “Valdez said you guys ran into more trouble.”

“To say the least.” Andrew shook her hand and then turned toward Hope. “This is Hope Miller. The witness I’ve been assigned to protect.”

Agent Fields shook her hand as well.

They stepped out into the cool, dark night.

Walking a few paces in front of them, Agent Fields looked over her shoulder. “Where are you parked?”

“Third row, about five cars in,” Hope said.

“Why don’t I bring my car around to you.” Agent Fields kept walking while she talked. “You should make sure your vehicle is secure.”

Hope wondered what she meant by secure. Looking for bombs or if someone was in the back seat maybe?

The notion made her shudder.

As they approached their borrowed car, another car started up somewhere in the lot. Andrew glanced around. “Hope, why don’t you stand by that light pole while I check the car out.”

He dropped to his knees and peered underneath the car.

The night chill sank into her skin as Andrew searched the front and back seats, then popped the hood.

A car rolled toward them from the far end of the lot.

Hope stiffened for a moment until she saw Agent Fields’s blond hair. The female agent let the car idle while Andrew looked in the trunk.
