Barb Han - Texas Witness

“I couldn’t be happier for you, Dallas.” She would bet any one of the O’Brien boys would make a great father, and her heart especially believed that about Colin. A wave of sadness crashed into her. She checked her phone again. The sooner she heard from Marshal Davis, the faster she could leave.

“Thank you. He’s a great kid. I hope you’ll swing by the ranch and meet my wife, Kate,” he said, and that comment netted a harsh look from Colin.

“I’d like that,” she said, even though the words were hollow. Liking the idea wasn’t the problem. She’d be Bethany soon enough and would never be allowed to look back. And especially not while Richard was a free man. Probably not after, either, considering he managed a network of ruthless criminals.

Speaking of the devil, she really needed to update Marshal Davis about Richard being in Bluff. She hoped Davis wasn’t waiting at their meet-up, but how could he be? She hadn’t thought about it before but there’d been cell coverage in the parking lot. She’d used her phone to call for an ambulance and yet she hadn’t heard from her handler.

Her cell buzzed, causing her to jump. She checked the text. Relief washed over her and through her when she saw the initials from her handler along with a text message. The second blessing was that Angelina didn’t wake.

New meet-up location: Bluff Motel.

“I have to go.” Melissa dropped the phone into her bag and felt around for the car keys.

Colin moved in between her and the door.

“You’re not leaving without explaining yourself.”
