PART THREE

CHAPTER TWENTY

Still rattled by the contents of the second note, April headed north with her crew and her horses, eager to get home. She was glad Nick had taken the note with him. She never wanted to see it again. Nick had made her promise to be careful and keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary. To never go anywhere alone on the trip. To always have someone accompany her when she stopped at rest areas or gas stations to fill up. His warnings made her afraid. She hated being afraid. She only wished he’d come with her. But Nick had needed to go to Salt Lake to turn in the evidence. He’d not said whether or not she would see him again. Part of her wanted another agent from the FBI to take over the case. As much as she’d vowed never to forgive Nick, she felt herself thawing a little more each time she saw him. As long as he didn’t come back, she could continue to convince herself she hated him. But if he returned, she feared she’d let down her guard and let herself care about him again. Which was a very bad idea.

April and her crew had stopped at a rest area just outside of Boise, Idaho about two hours ago. After walking the horses, they’d fed them dinner and then her crew had all gone back to their vehicles to rest for a few hours. Too restless to sleep, April stood outside with the horses, patting one sleek neck, then another. It was too quiet. The only sounds were cars passing along the freeway and vehicles entering and exiting the rest area. The occasional squeal of a child or the murmuring voices of adults who came and went would fill the silence.

She leaned against the trailer, watching as the horses munched on hay. Where was the killer? Was he out there in the darkness somewhere, watching her? She shivered at the thought. Who was he and why was he doing this? What could she have done to make this person kill?

A part of her wished Nick was here. He’d always made her feel safe. She knew he would protect her with his life. She sighed, sat down on the trailer’s fender well.

What might have happened between them if Nick had refused to take her father in that night?

Don’t go there.

No use fantasizing about what would never be.

It would be easier if she never saw him again. But with a killer somewhere out there, possibly hunting her, maybe even close by, waiting to strike, she prayed Nick would return.

But if he came back to the ranch with her, he’d see Brianna.

And what would he do when he found out he had a daughter April had kept a secret from him all these years?

Shadow Dancer snorted, blowing hay dust from his nostrils. April jumped, slapping a hand over her racing heart.

A car door slammed from somewhere close by. April jerked toward the sound.
