Prologue
Jeremy Ellison sat on a
dirty bed in an even dirtier motel room with his head in his hands, wondering
how he ended up here. He’d had her; he was almost able to take the one thing
Anthony currently wanted. After pulling himself from the water, he didn’t know
what to do or where to go. This was a first for him. He’d lost everything.
Everything. He had no laptop, no pictures, nowhere to go, and most importantly,
no money.
Sighing, he reached over for
the newspapers he had purchased, somewhere in there he’d find what he was
looking for. Some old lady from the society pages who had more money than
brains. Some way to make a quick buck so that he’d be able to move on to bigger
and better things. It was a scam he had perfected over the years. Money and
items that he could quickly sell would be his. It was what had afforded him the
lifestyle he loved so much, and giving the old ladies a thrill, well, it was
the least he could do.
He wanted to scream when he
saw his picture and the story about him, staring back. A smaller photo of
Anthony and Evie mocked him. They were coming for him; they were all coming for
him. Pounding his fists on the bed, his head shook back and forth, his mouth
opened in a silent scream.

She sat in the grimy motel
room clutching her wig in her trembling hands, staring at the room across the
parking lot where she saw him enter a while ago. She never expected to come
across him after all this time. It took everything she had not to knock on the
door and send the bastard straight to hell. She knew he deserved more pain and
putting a bullet in him would be too quick. Now that she knew where he was, she
could plan. She had to have a plan. Everything had to be in order. The ending
would have to be perfect, exactly what he deserved.
Her hands shook as she
thought of what she’d have to do to him, but she hadn’t come this far to back
out now.
Glancing at her watch, she
knew she had to hurry, she wanted to get back to her files on Jeremy. Now that
she knew exactly where he was she needed to make sure everything was up to date
and she had all the information on him. Slowly she put the wig back on and
walked out of the room into the sunlight. She casually dropped her purse near
his car where she attached a tracking device. Picking up her things, she put
them back in her purse, then stood up and walked away, never looking back.
