“Slamming the door on her mother’s new Range Rover, twenty-six year old Perri Linn started to pull her much-traveled suitcase, then paused to watch the swiftly approaching car.Her step-father's home was perched on the edge of the mesa near Phoenix, and was the last house on the road. If the car passed the next driveway...which it did...it must be coming here, to his place.Squinting to see better through the heat waves, Perri recognized Walt's silver gray Mercedes. She knew they weren't expecting... her yet, so why would he and her mom be coming home in the middle of the day? Could it be an emergency—they were traveling awfully fast?They must slow down to turn into the driveway!As if in defiance, the car roared on past and smashed into the large rocks set as a barricade on the mesa's edge. Red dust swirled upward towards the hot Arizona sun, cloaking the twisted metal. With a noiseless scream, Perri raced down the gravel drive. A woman lay half out of the car on the driver's side, her light golden hair, so like Perri's own, revealing her identity.The wreck burst into flames, but Perri ignored the furnace-like heat and half-carried, half-dragged her mother out of danger; then used her hands to snuff out the fire on Crystal's dress.Blood.MoreLessRead More Read Less
