CHAPTER 15

Once he’d given his account and the medics had cleared him (he’d bruised a rib, but that was it), Cowell had called again and ordered Jacob off the scene. Told him to go home. He reminded Jacob that he could use the rest because he had the psych eval next week. Jacob told Cowell that he’d rather be shot at, but complied. One of the deputies took him back to the S.O. so he could get his personal vehicle.

On the way home, he debated the pros and cons of telling Jill what had happened. That somebody had taken a shot at him. Thank God he’d been in the Expedition. He didn’t know how he’d explain the missing back window to Jill if he’d been in his own truck. It would be hard enough hiding his tender rib. She rarely missed anything. If she sensed him holding back, or lying, it could be ugly. Things rarely got ugly between them because they were always truthful with one another.

Here he was, having been shot at, but not hit, for the second time today. This was a deliberate action by the shooter, just as it had been at Captain Bryant’s house. He made a mental note to review the interrogation room sign-out logs tomorrow. Just to see for himself if Oswald had still been in for questioning when the sniper had been setting up his shot. Even though he didn’t believe his friend was behind this, he needed to know if it was possible.

He knew Jill needed to know for safety reasons. Death threats often came with the job, and he’d always passed on information of recently paroled felons or shown Jill pictures of people to watch for while she was out and about. The worst case scenario was someone showing up at their home. Jill was armed and prepared. She had guns all over the house and almost always carried concealed. But in this case, he could scarcely wrap his head around what this shooter was doing tailing him, and making a fucking game of it. This was the first time Jacob had been specifically targeted. These were uncharted waters he struggled in, and before he knew it he was turning into their driveway.

He sat in his truck a moment longer, still unsure. He decided he needed more information from Cowell and the officers at the range to compare what had happened there with what had happened at Bryant’s house. He didn’t want to spook Jill with only part of the story. He would wait until he got the latest intelligence from the investigators still working the range site. He finally decided he wouldn’t tell her. He sighed and got out of the truck.

He had only ever had one secret from her in all the years of their marriage and that was his collection of spent shells. He hid that from her. But it was just a private thing. Jake himself didn’t understand the significance of those shells. But he held on to them.
