Summer Games
““I’m Cord Elliot, remember?”
“That’s not what I meant,” she said quickly, words tumbling out of her as she tried to explain, to banish the deadly stranger who was looking at her through Cord Elliot’s eyes. “Are you local police or federal or military or . . . something else?”
His eyes closed for an instant. When they opened, the stranger was gone. “I’m on your side, Raine. Isn’t that enough?”
He turned away before she could answer.
There was a finality to his movement that told ...her more clearly than words that the subject of Cord Elliot was closed. With hands that wanted to tremble, she picked up the mystery and began the second chapter for the fifth time.
