Chapter 9

The stakeout was perfect. Lyod had all the right men in place, and all the players were in the house. Now all they had to do was wait on someone to do what he wanted. If not, he was ready for that as well. The plane ticket he’d purchased earlier that day was tucked neatly in his bag, and the car he’d purchased a while ago under an assumed name was gassed up and ready as well. But that wasn’t going to be necessary. Thornton would be his before too much longer.

“What the hell is that doing here?” Lyod looked up as a large medic ambulance pulled in the drive as soon as the gate was opened. “You think she’s killed them all?”

He’d told these men that Tania Thornton had left the department and had gone on a killing spree. Lyod had dug up all the unsolved cases that he could find and made everyone think that they were recent murders. Really he thought it was much too easy, and was sort of disappointed that it had been. He’d wanted someone to challenge him, and all of the men he’d picked for this job simply thought what he said was true.

“I doubt she’d kill the hand that feeds her.” He glanced up at the house they were watching. Kaleb Jonas had a house that his would fit in three times over. And that didn’t count the servants’ houses and the pool house. “She’s got herself a pretty good set-up here. I’m thinking it might be for something else.”

He’d also found out that Payne had a crippled mother. Perhaps that was why they were there. The sound of the siren was fading as he stood up and walked to the gate. A large man was standing in the gate house and appeared to be sleeping, but for some reason Lyod thought the man as alert as he was.

“You think we should offer our assistance?” Lyod shook his head at one of the men, Marcum Donaldson, who’d been questioning his every move since they’d gotten there. “I think this is one of the dumbest plans I’ve heard of.”

“So you’ve said. Several times now. We’re sticking with this one until you come up with something better.” And for all his bitching and moaning about Lyod’s plan, the man had offered no other way of doing this. “Keep an eye on the gate. When it opens, we’re to stop whatever drives out and see if our girl is in there.”

Several “yes, sirs” had him feeling in charge, but Marcum still bitched. “If I had known we were going to be hiding out for hours, I would have brought my computer. At least then I’d have something to do with my time.”

When the gates slid open forty minutes later, he moved to step in front of any vehicle coming out. It just happened to be the ambulance. And with their lights and sirens on, he knew he’d be hard pressed to not only make it stop, but he’d never be able to search it either.
