Chapter 26

“How did you get here so quickly?” I asked Leigh as she unlocked the door to her motel room.

“As soon as I learned Alex was here, I flew down,” she said. “I knew she would lead me to you.”

I looked at my duffle bag on the bed then glanced at Leigh.

“One of the officers drove your car back to the motel when they took you to the hospital. I brought your things here. Your bullwhip is in there too.

“As soon as the doctor releases you, we’ll fly to Washington. Your handler needs to debrief you.”

“Leigh, I still can’t remember what evidence I have or where I sent it.” I sat down in one of the two chairs in her room.

She studied me for a long time but seemed to believe that I couldn’t remember.

She sat down in the chair next to mine. “What do you remember?”

“I remember going to Africa,” I said as I tried to recall the things that had come back to me. “I know that Ross and I had over five hundred hours of video for our documentary.

“I remember preparing to leave Africa,” I thought out loud as new memories filled my mind. “Ross and I were shooting some last-minute footage when men in black Hummers attacked us. Their gunfire enraged a mother rhino, and she shoved our jeep off the cliff. The next thing I knew I was in the hospital.”

Leigh nodded. “Ross wasn’t as badly injured as you, and he managed to get to the embassy where we picked him up and brought him home.

“I was sent to make certain you were safe and to bring you home as soon as you were well enough to travel,” Leigh said, narrowing her eyes at me. “Imagine my surprise when Alex showed up claiming to be your wife.”

“She is my wife. I—”

“Do you remember how to use a computer?”

“Of course,” I said, rolling my eyes.

Leigh pulled a laptop from her suitcase and placed it on the small desk. She opened it and logged onto the motel’s internet.

“Here.” She stood, offering me the desk chair. “The internet is full of information about you and Alex. See for yourself. Just type in Alex and Sloan Cartwright.”

I pulled the laptop toward me and typed in our names. Photos of Alex and me flooded the monitor. I looked at our wedding photos and pictures of us sailing. Photos of us in Africa, Alex sitting in the back of a jeep while I struck a Great White Hunter pose. Alex laughing as we played with a pair of lion cubs at Camp Elephant.

There were pictures of us accepting awards in our respective fields. Videos of us dressed in gorgeous gowns and holding hands as we walked on red carpets.

Hundreds of photos and in every one of them, we only had eyes for each other. She never would have divorced me.

I typed in Alex and Sloan Cartwright divorce, and there it was, all over the internet. Alex on a popular talk show announcing to the world that we had gone our separate ways.
