Shadow Touched
“Ellie murmured to Cam. The tag on his long-sleeved tee stuck out at the back of his neck, wavering in the cold wind as a jeep sped them across the lawns to where the action was at the main gate to Segue.
The report coming over the radio made no sense.
Seemed a Segue soldier had opened fire without provocation on John Gerry, who’d driven up the mountain to Segue. Why the Middleton resident had come, and at night, was still unknown. The man had been unarmed, and now lay dead, riddled with bullets. The soldier had no explanation for his actions.
Ellie’s shadow had knocked the soldier, named Wagner, unconscious, thereby ending the assault, but it was nowhere to be found now. With the danger past, her shadow was probably in the kitchen staring at cookies because Ellie was hungry. She’d been waiting for Cam to go down to dinner with her when he’d come up to their suite, but then they’d been sidetracked.
Cam peeled off his shirt, muscles flexing against the cold—not a nerd’s body—and turned ...it right side out as the jeep came to a halt at the gate.MoreLess
