Chapter 74
At the hotel Rhett spent the night in a fitful slumber due to the haunting memories that used to rob him of sleep. For the longest time, he couldn’t catch a wink without popping some sleeping pills.
On the nightstand, there were sleeping pills that York had set out for him, but tonight Rhett didn’t take any. His head was buzzing with thoughts of Kristin…
Funny enough, Rhett never thought he’d be head over heels for a dame.
When she said she was deaf in her left ear and tried to off herself more times than she could count, she was so calm like she was talking about the weather or spilling the beans on something trivial.
Glancing at the clock, it was already 3 a.m.
Rubbing his chest to calm a heart that wasn’t in it, Rhett felt all kinds of restlessness.
Why the heck did he keep thinking about that gal without even trying..
His phone screen lit up with a call, but in sleep mode, not even a buzz.
Outskirts of town.
Kristin was trembling all over as she stared at her phone, shaking so much she was about out of juice.
“Lady, we should call the fuzz,” said the jogger who was scared witless. The gal looked like she had bled out…
Tears brimming in her eyes, Kristin stubbornly kept dialing Rhett’s number.
Finally, on the third try, Rhett picked up. “Hello?”
His voice was detached, weary with a hint of gravel.
“Rhett…” Kristin’s voice shook with emotion, thick with the verge of tears, but she couldn’t get the rest out.
On the other end, Rhett hitched his breath and bolted upright. Tentatively, he asked, “Where are you?”
It was Kristin.
He recognized her voice.
“I’m at…” Kristin asked weakly, her vision turning black.
The jogger quickly took the phone and added, “We’re at the outskirts on the Road 306. Your friend’s in bad shape, all bloody. Should I rush her to the hospital?”
“Stop the bleeding, I’m on my way.
