Chapter 14

It was just after three in the morning when Fielding spotted the guy creeping along the privacy fence that enclosed Abby Morrow’s backyard. The man’s dark clothes helping him blend into the shadows and become almost invisible, especially with the rain coming down in sheets, the howling wind blowing it sideways and obscuring his view. If not for Fielding’s trained eye and years of experience being the man dressed in black and creeping along fence lines, he doubted he would’ve spotted him.

It was a shitty night to be on a job. The guy had to be pissed and cursing his decision to take the hit on Abby Morrow right about now. Fielding almost hated to take the fucker out. The guy’s day was about to go from bad to worse.

There were lines that shouldn’t be crossed. Planning to kill someone when you’d already gotten what you needed out of them was a bullshit waste of resources and created unnecessary risks. And if you did have to tie up loose ends, you should at least show a little creativity and forethought, for fuck’s sake.

Yeah, well, this lame assassin would be in for a surprise if that pretty little deputy’s boyfriend got wind of the intrusion before the hit could go off. The guy moved like he knew what he was doing. Odds were good that the jackass moving toward the front door didn’t even know Abby wasn’t alone.

There’d been no recon, no surveillance. And clearly the guy had no imagination, no finesse.

Fielding shook his head.

He’d almost be doing this loser a favor by doing him in before he got caught and had to suffer the indignity of having all his mistakes on a job laid bare in a very public trial. Even if the guy got off by some miracle, he’d never work again.

Fielding heaved a long-suffering sigh and pushed open the door of his SUV almost silently—not that the guy could’ve heard it anyway over the window-rattling rumble of thunder.

He hunched over and flipped up his collar to keep the rain from going down the back of his jacket. His gaze darted up and down the wooded street, checking for approaching headlights, then to the nearest houses, which were all dark, their occupants no doubt fast asleep. Gotta love a sleepy small town. Made his job a hell of a lot easier.

The hired gun was just pulling open the screen door to go to work on the deadbolt of the heavy wooden door when Fielding raced silently up the front steps. Without pause, he wrapped his arm around the guy’s head and twisted in one swift motion.

The guy sagged in his arms. He hadn’t even realized Fielding was there.

Pathetic.

Fielding glanced around again. Satisfied that no one had seen any of what had just gone down, he hefted the man up over his shoulder. He strode swiftly to his waiting vehicle and opened the rear door, then cast one more glance up and down the street before pitching the guy inside.
