WOMAN ON THE RUN
While babysitting a young servicewoman’s infant, Natalie Frazier hears a murder in the neighboring army duplex. Convinced her former commander is behind the crime, the ex-soldier bolts with the baby. But who will believe her story? Army investigator Everett Kohl deals only with the facts, but this time his gut instincts can’t be denied. Is the attractive Natalie a cunning killer, as his ranking officers believe, or an innocent victim? Ordered to bring her in, Everett has a decision to make. Helping her could cost him his job…but not protecting Natalie and the baby could get all of them killed…
Military Investigations: Serving their country and solving crimes
“Keep your head down.”
Everett pulled off the roadway onto a dirt path. “We’re being followed.”
It’s him. The killer. She didn’t give voice to her suspicion. Couldn’t.
He stopped behind a thick stand of trees. “Stay here. I’ll go check.”
Seconds after he disappeared into the woods, brakes squealed in the distance. Cuddling the baby tighter, she heard a crack of a gunshot cut through the stillness.
A lump of fear filled her throat.
No. Surely Everett hadn’t been shot. Then a new realization hit her. The shooter could follow the tire tracks. She and the baby were easy prey.
She stepped from the car and ran, clutching the baby close.
Leaves rustled behind her. Footfalls came closer. Her toe caught, she started to fall and someone grabbed her.
“I’ve got you.”
It wasn’t the killer, but Everett.
