Chapter 10: Bullets for My Valentine
The plan was to get the mayor or her cohorts to expose
themselves, allowing Alexa to get definitive proof of their involvement. Thirty

and gravel crunching under tires. A dark colored SUV was pulling into the lot.
Three men exited the vehicle. Two searched the area while the third waited near
the driver’s side door.

“Yeah,” she sighed before slipping around to look him in the
eyes. “Sorry about last night.”
“Nah it’s ok. I sorta figured you fell asleep where I’d left

“Alright, I guess. The local police have agreed to put a
full guard detail on him until he’s released.”
“And when is that?”
“Productive.”
Chapter 08: Up All Night
Gavin ran up as

back.

Curt returned to her house to decompress. Plus, Alexa had been anxious to get

you ready for this?” Curt asked, noticing her apprehension.
“Yeah. Let’s get this over with,” she replied and slid out of the driver’s door.
