Moonrise
“Three goddamn miserable days, during which he kept her so drugged up she barely realized where she was. At least it stopped her questions. It closed her haunting eyes. It smoothed the worry from her face and made her look far too young for him once more.
He needed to remember that. She would always be too young for him, in experience, in the cold, cruel facts of life. It was her blessing, and his curse.
He got drunk whenever he could. During the long night flights, when there was no way anyone ...could get to them, he’d make his way through a quart of tequila and watched the woman asleep beside him. He usually managed to sneak the stuff into her food, but once or twice he had to resort to a hypodermic needle when she got too restless. He wondered if she’d notice the tracks.
The trailer was equipped with everything. Weapons, the makings for bombs and mind-altering drugs, the stuff for phony passports and ID’s. It had been a simple enough matter to make an arrangement via a cellular phone to get what he needed together.MoreLess
