Chapter Eight
It was ridiculous to be going about it this way. He worked for DPI. He was one of them. He could
punch in the code, walk right through the gates, up to the front door, and demand to see the prisoner.
But something held him back, made him cautious. Crazy, vague suspicions clouded his mind. Heâd put
them to rest when he saw that she was okay, but until then, he figured heâd be better off erring on the
side of caution.
Heâd had to argue with Kirkland to get him to stay behind. Hell, the guy had no idea what heâd be
getting into if he came along. DPI was big. Powerful. It was dangerous to get on the wrong side of them.
It was bad enough Kirkland was going to make the call.
Vaguely, she heard the phone and the low muttering from beyond the closed bedroom door. Two of the
men remained with her. One, the one called Fuller, had gone out to answer it. Seconds later, he returned.

âWeâve got him.â
Whaley rose from where heâd been comfy on the bed. âBachman?â
Fuller nodded. âThat was the hospital in Caribou. Seems Bachman was brought in, unconscious. They
found this number on him.â
Cuyler bit her lip to keep from gasping. God, what had happened to Ramsey?
âWhat the hell was he doing in Caribou?â Whaley asked.
âProbably trying to make his way here, to the safehouse. I still think you guys are wrong about him.â
That was Stiles, the most gentle of the three. âHow bad is he?â
âDoesnât look like heâll make it through the night. Weâd better get over there.â
Pain tore through her heart. Dying? Ramsey was dying? She squeezed her eyes tighter to stop the tears
that burned in them.
âWhat about her?â
Fuller glanced at Stiles, who stood unspeaking in the corner. âCan you handle her?â
The pale man nodded.
âShe gets too lively, just give her another shot. Weâll call in from the hospital.â
She didnât lift her head as the two walked out. Just let it hang. Sheâd be damned if sheâd give them any
reason to inject her with more of that awful, debilitating drug.
Ramsey crouched behind a shrub near the gate and waited. Two men came out of the house. Their car
started up, headlights came on, and he cringed lower. An electronic hum, a metallic groan, and the gates
swung open. The car rolled through, and they began to close again.
He watched the car accelerate as soon as it hit the road. The gates were still closing. Taillights
disappeared around a bend, and Ramsey lunged to his feet and dove. The metal scraped his sides as he
threw himself in, then banged solidly as his body hit the ground. Closing his eyes, he drew three steadying
breaths. Night birds slowly resumed their nightly serenade. A few seconds later, frogs joined in. The wind
rustled the trees again. Other than that, Ramsey heard nothing. He got to his feet, brushed himself off, and
started toward the house.
The numbered panel beside the door stared at him, the System Armed light glaring like an evil eye.
