Chapter 17

Dan stood beside her in the medical center’s waiting area. How she got here was anyone’s guess. Gemma had tried to gently extricate herself from the press of people rushing Andra to the sheriff’s office and then around back where he parked his Jeep. She’d stepped away from the group several times, only to have someone grab her hand and pull her back. There had been nowhere to go, and she just got swept along with them because the alternative was elbowing people out of the way and making a scene.

“Pretty exciting church service, don’t you think?” He grinned and squeezed her hand, which he hadn’t let go of. “It’s not like that all the time.”

Gemma couldn’t help but smile back. “I’ll take your word for it.”

“Come on, we can check on Sam while we wait for word about Andra.”

And apparently she was going with everyone to the medical center. Gemma didn’t know that she really needed to wait for “word” about Andra and the baby. She’d hear around town, wouldn’t she? But being part of Dan’s life meant she was part of that kind of thing. Part of these people and their lives.

“So what did you—”

“Do you know what—”

Dan grinned. “Go ahead. Mine can wait.”

Gemma shrugged. “I guess I just don’t really know what’s going on. I mean, the papers were taken from the radio station days ago. Why haven’t they shown up like your truck did?”

“It’s hardly a truck now,” he said. “More like the stripped-down shell of what’s going to be a nice planter.”

“Okay, but… I’d think whoever took them at least had an idea what they might be. So why haven’t we heard about it? No one has made a move or said anything.”

“They’d incriminate themselves if they did.”

“But whoever it was had to have known it was there, or why else take it like that?” She didn’t want to think about being stunned by that flash grenade, but it had happened. She wasn’t going to sweep it under the rug. “They had to want those papers badly enough they couldn’t wait until after we left.”

“I don’t know why it’s like they’ve disappeared. And why did Antonia have to die?” It was just so senseless. “What if someone else is killed?” Okay, so she was talking about herself, but Dan probably didn’t need to know that. She could barely go home without thinking someone might be waiting to kill her. Those papers had belonged to her. Terrence—even if only because he was a sicko—had targeted her, and the mayor had interjected himself into her life. Gemma couldn’t help thinking she was a part of this.

What if Terrence came back and hurt her when she could do nothing to stop him? Sam was hurt, and the same might happen to Dan. What would she do if he was in a coma, lying in the medical center where there was nothing she could do to help him?

“Gemma.” His voice was soft now.

Her breath hitched. “What?”

“You’re crying.”

She swiped the tears from her cheeks.
