Hard Rain (29 page)
Authors: B. J. Daniels
Chase beat him to it.
He didn’t fire into the Kevlar vest, but instead he double tapped two shots to the gunman’s head. And Chase didn’t miss. The man dropped like a sack of rocks just as Chase had intended.
With that taken care of, Chase turned to April. “Now, what the hell’s going on?” he demanded.
But she didn’t answer. Probably because of the hoarse sob that tore from her mouth. “Oh, God.” And she kept repeating it.
She dropped to her knees, and she grabbed the dead man by the shoulders, lifting his torso off the ground. “Tell me where she is!” April yelled. “Tell me.” The sobbing got worse when she put her fingers to his neck. “He’s dead. He can’t be dead.”
It wasn’t exactly the reaction Chase had expected since she knew this snake was a killer and had been prepared to kill again.
She looked up at him, tears shimmering in her eyes. “The baby.”
All right. That got his attention. “
Our
baby?” Chase asked.
April nodded, and her breath shattered. “Someone took her. And that dead man was my best hope at finding our daughter.”
