Chapter Eleven

A poor man’s son disappears in the woods, a few rescue workers spend a day trying to find him. Edwin Rinehart’s son and heir’s borrowed van is defaced, and half the city’s police and fire department are mobile in minutes.

The vast number of men and vehicles was staggering. Luke kept his mouth shut and kept out of sight until he was positive there wasn’t anyone he knew. Thankfully he’d been recruited from out of state, standard procedure to keep his cover intact in just such an emergency.

Okay, maybe not this kind of emergency. He wasn’t sure his bosses could ever have predicted this absolute fuck-up of events that had been manifesting ever since Edwin’s pretty daughter had turned up.

Suddenly uneasy, Luke hung back and counted emergency vehicles. If nothing else, the number of police and fire trucks that came barreling down the dirt roads showed him that whatever evidence he could get on the Rinehart family, it had to be good. Really good.

On the other hand, he had a difficult time condemning the actions of Atlanta’s finest. They crawled under the car and spotted a suspicious device connected to the bottom of the vehicle. No one wanted to use the word ‘bomb’, so no one did. That didn’t change what it was. Things escalated from that point, the haste with which they were removed from the area showed that concern for the public’s safety truly was foremost in the minds of the first-responders.

Thankfully, the helicopter landed on schedule at the airport as the two police cars were dispatched to escort the group to safety. Luke stared for a long time out the back window at the pristine forest and wondered who the hell was lurking back there in the trees. They passed a S.W.A.T team on the way in as they were on the way out, and he had no doubt that a bomb squad would be in close pursuit, followed by the news media.

Which was all the more reason why it felt good to be getting out of there.

Turning to face forward Luke met Katie’s eyes, and to his surprise she smiled back despite how pale her skin had grown under her tan. To make her smile he let her know it wasn’t his first time in the back of a police car, but it was the first time he’d been treated this well, and then proceeded to spin a story of a prom gone very wrong.

Not a word of it was true. The whole thing was part of his elaborate backstory that he’d had to memorize before taking this job. As he elaborated, adding details that even had the cop smiling in the front seat, Luke realized that he wasn’t altogether sure who he was anymore. When had the backstory become so easy? Why were his own high school years so vague? Not for the first time, he wondered if eventually the line between truth and reality would grow so muddied that he’d lose track of Luke McConnell entirely.
