EXCERPT
Tony cleared his throat. “You said your dad was kidnapped?”
“Last night. Coach and my dad were friends. They joined the Army together.”
Why was I babbling? Tony didn’t need to know my life story.
“I showed up this morning because I thought he might know why these people were after my dad.”

“I showed up this morning because I thought he might know why these people were after my dad.”
“Did either of them tell you?”
I shook my head and looked at Tony. “The man who beat up Coach Andrews—
he said he’d give me a head start before hunting me down.”
he said he’d give me a head start before hunting me down.”
Again, Tony glanced in the mirror. “He didn’t happen to say he drives a black Lincoln, did he?”
As I spun in the seat and leaned over the headrest to see, the belt cut into my neck.
Behind us, a black car crept closer with every second.
Someone in the passenger seat leaned out of the window with a gun.
“There’s a man with a gun following us and I’m not freaking out. At least, I don’t think I am.”

“No, you’re cool.”
With a bitter laugh, I turned back around and dropped down on the red vinyl seat.
“Cool? When are you going to ask why I’m not afraid?”
“Cool? When are you going to ask why I’m not afraid?”
Tony hit the brakes and made a turn that left me choking from the belt’s grip.
“Right after you ask why I picked you up.”

How would you spend ten thousand bucks?
I’d take a vacation with my family – somewhere warm since I’ve never liked cold weather.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
C.C. Bolick grew up in south Alabama, where she’s happy to still reside.
She’s an engineer by day and a writer by night—too bad she could never do one without the other.
She’s an engineer by day and a writer by night—too bad she could never do one without the other.
Camping, fishing… she loves the outdoors and the warm Alabama weather.
For years she thought up stories to write and finally started putting them on paper back in 2006.
If you hear her talking with no one to answer, don’t think she’s crazy.
Since talking through her stories works best, a library is her worst place to write…
even though it’s her favorite!

C.C. loves to mix sci-fi and paranormal—
throw in a little romance and adventure and you’ve got her kind of story.
She’s written nine books including the Leftover Girl series, The Agency series,
and The Fear Chronicles.
