Excerpt:
From
Chapter Three
Lucy had
thought about meeting Daniel again a thousand times, but it had never
played out like this. She surprised herself at the ferocious nature
of her attack. She was mocking him and she wanted to rise above that,
just stick to the facts, but she couldn't.
"Look,"
Daniel spoke again. "I need to talk to you."
His
insistence just wound Lucy up more. "Oh, you need to talk, do
you? Now that it suits you, it's time for a chat? What about all the
times when I needed to talk? Where we're you then? With your new
woman? Go and talk to her now if you need a chat."
"Stop,
Lucy. I know you hate me, and I deserve it, but I need to talk to
you. You're in danger. Serious danger."
Lucy did
stop. For a moment. But she hadn't finished.
"Yes,
I'm in danger. In danger of punching you, of kicking your head in."
Daniel
leaned forward, tried to grab her hands. Lucy pulled away,
sputtering, and he sighed. But he didn’t lean away.
"Listen,
this is about your father. He was murdered. The accident was no
accident. And the people who did it are coming after you now."
Lucy let
the words sink in, her mind a confused jumble of conflicting
thoughts. She started again on autopilot. "I don't know what
kind of game you’re playing this time, but you are full of shit."
Daniel
looked her straight in the eye, silently commanding her to listen. It
was a look she recognized, but one he’d never turned on her.
"I
know this sounds crazy, but I'm deadly serious. Your father was
working on something classified – Operation Honeydripper. Check it
out. His killers think you have information and they'll stop at
nothing to take it from you. I want to help you."
Lucy
could feel her mind coming back, shifting her away from anger, but
the rage wasn’t completely subdued.
"You've
got a nerve coming back here and feeding me this bullshit. You didn't
even know my father. You’re a bastard for bringing him into this
mess, putting the blame on him."
She was
shaking as she stood. "I honestly don't know what I ever saw in
you."
The
shaking increased as she marched from the bar but she didn’t look
back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The book's good.. Really, what more can I say. The plot of the story is very well balanced and the real life like characters are great! The combination of the both makes the story just as life like. Easy to fall into the story and away from life for a bit. Not a dull moment so you'll find yourself flipping those pages.
