Don't Mess With Texas
“Tapping on Ellen’s door a few minutes later, Nikki heard a soft, “Come in,” and she moved inside.
Her gaze shot first to Ellen, asleep. She looked pale and small. Not anything like Ellen, who always wore a big smile and exuded a big personality. The vision of all the blood back at the gallery filed Nikki’s head.
How could someone have done this?
And why?
Mrs. Wise, standing beside the hospital bed, quietly rushed over to join Nikki. “She’s much better.”
While locked in Mrs. Wise’s embrace, Nikk...i spotted the nurse at the foot of the bed. It was LeAnn, Dallas’s sister-in-law. Nikki nodded to her in greeting.
LeAnn’s startled gaze shot to the door as if she was afraid someone, an unwelcome someone at that, might be following Nikki in. Recalling how LeAnn had run when her estranged husband, Detective O’Connor, had come into the emergency room, Nikki suspected the unwanted person was him. Nikki couldn’t blame her; the man gave Nikki the same reaction.
