Chapter Nine

The moon was sitting behind thick clouds, making it impossible to see anything without strong headlights or a flashlight. Dylan’s eyes were good, though. He’d been on many ops where the moonlight, although pretty, was his team’s downfall, making it harder to search for what they were looking for.

Or to remain unseen by those he didn’t want to know he was there.

Tammie had said there had been someone lurking in the garden last night. It had frightened her, and Dylan couldn’t say he liked the idea of it either. After today’s near miss at the auction grounds, he wasn’t going to leave it to chance that it wouldn’t happen again.

When he’d seen Tammie splayed out in the dirt, he couldn’t breathe until he saw her moving. Then he’d held her in his arms, felt her heart beating as strongly as his own and known she was all right.

The memory of the feel of her body against his had made his groin ache. Even the thought of her made his blood stir and his body go into overdrive with need. The sway of her hips and the curve of her cheek that accentuated her full lips, lips that had taunted him even though she did nothing to provoke the response.

He didn’t know what had made the pastor and his wife take her from this town and move clear across the country without anyone knowing about it. Or why they’d kept hidden the fact that Tammie had a whole family in Eastmeadow from her all these years.

Dylan was convinced there was a connection with the reason Cash had disappeared. He was waiting for Sonny to email him with the information he’d asked her about earlier. If his suspicions were right, he’d have his first lead about Cash’s disappearance since he’d gotten to Eastmeadow.

He’d parked the Jeep down the road a ways from the mansion, so as not to rouse the suspicions of anyone in the house. Tall maples lined the street and stretched over the road, keeping the moonlight from revealing his presence.

Eastmeadow was so unlike the streets he worked as a cop. Unlike here, he knew what kind of trouble lurked in the shadows in a big city. He’d have to draw on his years in the Marines tonight. He was used to dealing with all
