Virginia Vaughan - Mission Undercover

“I’m not sure, but I’ll find out. What’s your status?”

“He shot me. Don’t worry, it’s just a graze. But we’re on the run.”

“We?”

“I’m with a woman. Holly Mathis, a nurse at the med center. She’s the widow of Mason’s old partner. He attacked her, too. He said he was going to set it up to look like I was obsessed with her, killed her and then killed myself. He also claimed the boss was someone high up in the town. He said they had the coroner under their control.”

“But he didn’t give you a name?”

“No, but when Holly went to the police, Chief Waggoner tried to hand her over to Mason. He’s definitely dirty.”

“We’ll figure this out once you’re both safe. Where are you?”

“A convenience store on the south side of town.”

“Wait, you’re still in Northshore? You’ve got to get out of there.”

“We tried. All the roads are blocked. Mason has had me labeled as a dirty cop and told everyone at the precinct I kidnapped Holly. The whole force is out there looking for me.”

“Let me make some calls,” Matt said. “Don’t worry. We’ll figure this out. You just stay safe.”

Blake turned to look at Holly and realized he was now responsible for keeping them both alive and well. He hoped he was up to the task. “I’ll do my best,” he told Matt before he pressed the off key. “We need to find a place to hide while we think this out.”

“Should we go back to my friend’s apartment now that Mason is gone?”

“No, he may still be watching it. We can’t go to my place or yours, either.” He leaned back in his seat and sighed. His mind spun at the notion of making a wrong decision. The calm he saw in her eyes meant she was depending on him.

He wouldn’t let her down.

“I know a place where we can lay low for a while. It’s not a great option, but it’s secure.” He pulled onto the road and headed west. He knew this place from his patrols. It was seedy and run-down, but hopefully it would be a safe haven for them at least for a little while until they figured out how to make their escape.
