Rachel Lee - The Hunted

When Jerrod returned to pick up Erin, he found her sitting outside the library with a visible bubble of empty space around her. That was hardly surprising, given the angry scowl on her face. The students milling around had obviously seen it, too, and had instinctively kept her at a safe distance. He didn’t have that option.

“Come on,” he said. He figured she would tell him what had ticked her off if she wanted to.

When they reached the parking lot, she looked around. “Where’s your car?”

He pointed. “It’s the white one. I couldn’t take a Bureau vehicle for this. Especially since it has a LoJack and we could be tracked.”

“And yours?”

“Nothing trackable. Just your basic four-wheel-drive Suburban.”

This one was smaller, with a gray cloth interior, much better suited to the hot Texas sun. Not to mention that it was fully equipped with his collection of Willie Nelson CDs.

“What did you tell them?” she asked, as they pulled out of the campus lot and started north on Congress Avenue. Here Austin still reflected its small-town roots, from the days before zoning. Houses and businesses met and mingled, and the trees were old and grand.

“Who? You mean, my bosses?”

Her hands clenched into fists on her lap. “Who else would I mean? Did you tell them about me?”

“No. I’m not telling anyone anything they don’t absolutely need to know.”

“Then how can you get away?”

“I have a certain amount of leeway when I’m investigating something.” He braked at a stoplight and looked at her. “What has you so upset?”

“I was reading about white slavery.”

“And?”

She looked at him, and her blue eyes seemed to burn. “I’ve never seen anything so twisted in my life.”
