Get me away from here.”

That’s all Janey had to say and Jase had moved into action. As soon as they’d finished dealing with the police and motel management they’d thrown what few things they’d packed in their carry-ons and headed south on Highway 45. Right after he’d stopped at a pawnshop to pick up a handgun.

She didn’t like the idea. Jase didn’t much care. He was way past concerned. Way past pissed.

Whoever they were dealing with—Grimm or someone else or a combo of both—from this point on, he was packing. If he hadn’t been convinced that Janey was in danger after Grimm had broken into her Atlantic City hotel suite, the incident at the bank and the latest break-in had made him a true believer.

Now this deal with the car that had been used to run down her mother—well—someone out there was determined in a very calculated, very sick way to do her harm. Whether the intent was to terrorize, rob, or murder, it didn’t matter; at this point it was all the same to him. He needed to protect her. Would do whatever it took to keep her safe. And to do that, he needed firepower.

The gun was within easy reach under the driver’s seat of the rented Taurus. He’d have preferred a military-issue M9 Beretta 92F 9mm. He settled for a .38 S & W and was happy as hell that an extra Ben Franklin handled the permit issue.

“This is getting dicey,” Jase told Nolan, whom he’d called once they’d been well away from Tupelo.

“No shit,” No said on the other end of the line as Jase turned off the highway and pulled into a gas station.

They’d been traveling for a little over half an hour. For the last fifteen minutes, Jase had been filling Nolan in on the latest turn of events, from the precise details about the car that had been used to run down Alice Perkins to another set of bloody hearts that had been prominently displayed in the center of the trashed bedding in Janey’s motel room.

“And nothing was stolen?” No asked.

“We’re traveling light. Basically there was nothing to steal.”

“So you’re thinking . . . what? The break-in was supposed to terrorize her?”

“Could be. There was no note this time. Not sure what that means.”

“He could have run out of time.”

“Yeah. Or he could have been looking for something, gotten angry when he didn’t find it.”

“The money?”

“Yeah, sure, it’s a possibility, but I can’t see anyone figuring we’d leave that much cash lying around. And I can’t see Grimm knowing about it, either.”

“Well, someone does.”

“Yeah,” Jase agreed, thinking about “Lemans.” “Someone sure as hell does.”

“So you know, I put Dallas on things full time at this end,” No said. “He’s already initiated a computer search on the names you gave me earlier.”

“Have him do something else for me, would ya? Look up all the available public information on Grimm’s trial and conviction. I want to know how much detail was printed on the stalking incidents and how accessible that info still is.
