His phone rang. Wayne’s voice came through: “Boss, the driver who hit her has been taken by James’s people.”

Geoffrey’s eyes turned cold. “Got it.”

He’d just pulled her through the shattered windshield when James showed up as well.

Geoffrey never figured out how James learned about the accident. At the hospital, while Maureen was in the ER, he discovered the emergency device in her hearing aid.
