He was at her front door, and he was going to kill her.
Ava had ignored his demands. Waited too long. She had to act fast.
Move. Quickly.
Run!
Her foster care days taught her how to bolt at a moment’s notice, and
she could disappear in a flash.
She grabbed her backpack and raced to the back of her house. Down the
stairs. Into the old-fashioned root cellar. Up the concrete steps. She flung
open the doors to her backyard and dashed into the darkness.
She glanced around the yard. Into the inky night. Moon behind clouds.
Drizzle spitting.
Good for cover. Not so good for the risk of falling.
Now where?
Her car? No! She couldn’t risk approaching the garage and revving her
engine. Alerting her would-be killer.
She would have to hoof it. Simple as that. Yeah, right, simple.
Heart galloping, palms sweating, she charged over her yard, spongy
from months of Oregon spring rain.
She reached the fence where pickets had recently fallen, revealing her
neighbor’s yard. Swing set. Slide. She slipped past their patio door. Light
glowed from the dining table where the family of three was gathered for
dinner. Heads bowed in prayer, they didn’t notice her.

sidewalk. She risked a glance back at her house. At the car out front. Black.
Sports car. Dented and rusty.
Yeah, it was Layne Boyle’s vehicle all right, but no sign of Layne. At
six foot tall, the thirty-something buff guy with blond hair and striking blue
eyes would be impossible to miss.
She kicked it into gear. Rounded a corner. Then another. And another,
then ducked into bushes near the neighborhood playground.
She gulped the humid air, sucking it in as if it were from an oxygen tank
she would use for one of her patients. Patients. Not anymore. Her nursing
career was over. Layne would see to that, and the police would be after her.
Bringing her up on murder charges.
Her! Murder charges. How had her life come to that?
She didn’t kill Layne’s mother, Holly Boyle, last month. The police had
no reason to suspect foul play, but Layne told them she had changed her
will at the last minute and could’ve made the killer mad. The police agreed
to look into it, but they did nothing, claiming high caseloads, and with the
autopsy not showing any sign of foul play, they blew him off.
So he decided to investigate on his own and located circumstantial
evidence that made Ava look guilty. He’d threatened to kill her unless she
turned herself in within three days. She couldn’t do that when she wasn’t
