EXCERPT
“Don’t do it. Please don’t do it,” she begged him.
“I have to. Do you
really think I like this anymore than you do? I hate it but I want her to have
a life. A good life. I want her to live.” He punched the wall grunting in pain.
Cradling his hand, he turned to face her.
“But we don’t know
for sure that she needs this. Just wait.” She could barely contain the soft
sobs.
“Wait until what?
The Doctor says oops we can put her on a waiting list but it could be years.
You can check your family but oh yeah, we really can’t. We don’t have any
options. I know it’s not the conventional route–”
She snorted. “Oh,
my god. Please tell me you know how dangerous this is?”
He reached for her
hand, squeezing it. “I do. I know... it’s not safe. But I have to do this. I
love her as much as you do. She’s mine in every way that counts. If we follow
the rules, we may lose her. You know that she’ll be put way down on the list
for a transplant. If they’ll even put her on it. She’s not considered a good
candidate. She’s disabled so why would they even care.”
“It’s not fair.”
“I know. I have to do what I think is right. I
don’t want to lose her.”
Sobbing, she turned
and ran from the room, her body convulsing with the depth of her pain. He hated
that he had to hurt her but it just strengthened his resolve that if he didn’t
do something soon, it might be too late. Picking up his cell, he checked for
the number he’d recorded in his contacts. The reality of what he was doing was
overwhelming. It took him a minute to calm his nerves before he could hit call.
The phone rang four times before he was given a voice mail message.
“Leave your name
and number. I’ll call you.”
Even though it was
one of those recorded standard phone company recordings, a chill descended
through his body sending out tentacles that wrapped themselves so deep, they
felt like they’d settled into the marrow of his bones. Knowing he was dealing
with the black market which meant some unsavory people, he hesitated only a
second before leaving the required information. Clicking off his cell, he went
to set it down, only to find his hands were shaking so bad that it slipped out
of his fingers, clanking onto the counter. His first thought was that he’d
destroyed it and would never have to use it again. It wasn’t his everyday phone
it was one that was pay as you go. He’d bought it specifically for this
purpose. Maybe he’d watched too much TV but the less information that he had to
give them, the more he felt in control. Tentatively picking it up, he flipped
it open. The screen lit up immediately. It still worked.
“You’re in this
now,” he whispered softly.
************************************
He didn’t commit suicide but who’s going to believe her...
Frustrated at being fired from her latest job and overwhelmed by her consolatory family, Sam decides to move to the family’s cabin at the lake. A place she hasn’t been since her dad committed suicide there, twenty years before. Or did he? Snooping is something she’s good at but someone seems to be taking offense to her looking too closely at what has been happening at the lake. What she discovers is shocking. Now she must uncover what’s real and what’s not. All that she learned growing up, may be false.
Keegan, who has recently moved to the area to finish his latest book, is also trying to find out if his grandfather, who’d passed away ten years before, died of natural causes or was murdered? The descendants of the four families, who own the land around the lagoon, are dying off.
Since Sam and Keegan are the only ones questioning the deaths, they find themselves working together to seek the truth. Are people being murdered? Who would benefit from their deaths? Why would there be barricades and armed guards at the north end of the lake? To stay alive, Sam and Keegan must find the answers and convince others, before more people are killed... including them.
