LUKE POWELL’S HEAD THROBBED as he parked his sedan in the
empty lot and glared into the nearby trees. The darkness had just begun the
slow fade toward dawn, and the US Secret Service special agent could
barely make out the trailhead. He used to love Mondays. There was nothing
quite like tackling the week and showing it who was boss before the sun
had a chance to reach the horizon.
He didn’t love Mondays anymore, and he hated running alone. Where
was Zane? If he didn’t show in the next three minutes—
Headlights pierced the predawn air.
Finally.
Luke climbed from the car and paced in front of it until Zane joined him.
US Secret Service Special Agent Zane Thacker didn’t speak but fell in
beside Luke as they walked toward the trailhead.
Until eleven weeks ago, they’d been a trio. Barring protective details or
urgent cases, Luke, Zane, and Thad had met here every Monday morning to
tackle the three-mile trail around the lake. Thad was the one who’d
introduced them to it when first Zane, and then Luke, joined the Raleigh
resident office. It had been Thad’s favorite place to run, and since his death
in February, Zane and Luke had continued to meet here every Monday. It
was as if they would be spitting on their friend and mentor’s memory by
failing to go for a run. It was pathetic, but for now it was all they had.
They still couldn’t explain to Thad’s widow, Rose, why her twins had
celebrated their eighth birthday over the weekend with their daddy’s
buddies instead of their daddy. They could tell Rose all about the explosive
that had ripped Thad’s car in half. They could tell her there had been a
woman of Asian ancestry, somewhere between twenty-nine and thirty-five
years of age, in the car with him. But no one could tell Rose who the
woman was or why Thad had been at dinner with her—and most
devastatingly of all, no one could tell her who had killed them.
Some buddies they’d turned out to be.
“Hold up, man.” Zane stopped and propped his foot on a nearby bench.
They’d reached the midpoint of the trail, and Luke looked out over the lake
beside them as Zane tied his shoe.
“That party nearly killed me.” Zane popped to his feet and they resumed
their pace, running side by side. “I had no idea eight-year-olds could be so
vicious.”
“I could have lived my entire life without that experience.” Luke loved
Betsy and Bobby Baker like they were his own niece and nephew, but their
party had been slow torture. He’d spent half the time playing laser tag with
Betsy and the other half getting a massive beatdown from Bobby at
basketball. The twins had fun. But Luke had been completely unprepared
for the chaos, the noise level, and the amount of sugar consumption.
