CHAPTER NINETEEN

One minute Sasha was walking with her boyfriend, looking forward to a quiet ride to Otter Creek. The next her back was against the vehicle, her body covered by Cade. His gun was in his hand, the barrel aimed at the truck racing away from them.

Cade fired one shot. Although windows shattered, the driver didn’t stop. He careened from the aisle, turned toward the main thoroughfare, and sped away.

“Are you okay?” he asked.

She nodded. “They tried to kill us, didn’t they?”

His head whipped toward her. “You saw them?”

“The driver. I didn’t see the passenger well.”

“Could you describe the driver to a sketch artist?”

“I’ll try. Do you have one on staff at PSI?”

“No, but I know someone who can help us find one.” He stepped back. “We need to go in case they take another run at us.” Once she was settled, he placed the bags behind her seat.

She fastened her safety belt after several failed attempts. Sasha’s shaking hands annoyed her.

Cade circled the vehicle with his plastic gadget in hand. A minute later, he drove away from the mall. She expected Cade to head for the interstate. He didn’t.

“Where are we going?”

“Taking a few detours. I don’t want them to follow us or try to run the SUV off the road.”

“Would you take the risk if you were alone?”

“What do you think?”

That’s what she thought. If he’d been by himself, he would have drawn them into a trap of his own and perhaps stopped the madness tonight. “I have another question.”

“Shoot.”

“When we were at the gun range, you told me never to fire a weapon unless I knew where the bullet would stop.”

“You want to know why I fired at the truck.” He gave a short nod. “Good observation. The truck was heading toward a high, dense berm of dirt. No civilians were in the area and no other vehicles were in the line of fire. I aimed for the center of the back window in case there was a passenger. With both front and back windows blown out, the truck will be more noticeable.”

Wow. All Sasha had noticed was the truck and driver. Cade assessed the situation in a split second and acted. “Why didn’t we call the police to report the incident?”

“They would have taken me in for questioning. With my background in the military and now Fortress, I would have drawn a lot of suspicion. I don’t want to be separated from you for any reason. We’ll report the incident to Ethan to have it on record, but we can’t offer much information yet.”

“Yet?”

Cade activated his Bluetooth and placed a call.

A moment later, Zane’s voice filled the cabin of the SUV. “Murphy.”

“It’s Cade. You’re on speaker with Sasha. We ran into trouble at a mall in Knoxville. Hack the traffic and security cameras in the area. A truck almost mowed us down in the parking lot. I want to know who was in the vehicle and the license plate.”

“Name of the mall?”

Cade gave him the information and answered other questions about the make and model of the truck.
