Chapter 22

Jack pulled into the parking lot of the Bristol Memorial Hospital. He turned to Caroline. She was silent for the last several miles. She was looking out the window up at the hospital when suddenly she turned to face him.

“Jack,” she said. She had not used his name before and it surprised him to hear it come from her lips. “I’m not getting out here.”

He looked at her hard. “What do you mean you’re not getting out here?”

“I’m staying with you.”

“Like hell you are. I told you I’m through with you. That chip in your arm is going to get me caught before I can accomplish what I set out to do. You’re a danger to me and if the truth be told I am a danger to you. I need you gone. Now get out of the car.”

“No,” she said calmly. He started to protest again, but she held up a hand and cut him off. “No, listen, Jack. This time I need you. I have given this a great deal of thought. I am afraid of you and I don’t know you very well, but you are my only hope. When you broke into my house the other night I was praying for a way out. I was brutally raped and beaten by my own husband. It’s not the first time it has happened and I know if I go back it will not be the last. I can’t face that any longer, Jack. I’ve been thinking about it for days and every time I think about going back to Warren, I just get sick.

“He will somehow blame me for all that has happened here. He will blame me for allowing you to get into that safe and take those discs. He is crazy enough to even think that I went with you on purpose. I might as well make that a reality and take what chance I have with you.”

Jack knew Warren and what he was capable of, but to hear all this come from her lips was still a shock “Jesus, Caroline.”

She went on quickly with her plan before he could continue. “We can take the chip out of my arm and leave it somewhere. He will track the chip and think he’s found us. By that time, we will be long gone. I need you for protection, Jack. I’ve got money of my own that Warren can’t touch. I can pay you. If Warren finds me, he will kill me. He’s threatened my life many times. The man is insane, you know that don’t you.”

It wasn’t a question. Jack knew she was right, but he just couldn’t take her. It was far too dangerous. “Caroline, he’s your husband. He’s soon to be the Vice President of the United States.” His words trailed off. Anything else he said at this point would not be true. He had been about to say that she would be safer with Warren than with him. Jack couldn’t believe he’d even thought the words.
