Bots to Bullets
J.L. Swann
- If
- someone
- called
- you
- in
- the
- middle
- of
- lunch
- and
- told
- you
- to
- get
- out
- of
- town,
- would
- you
- go?
- What
- if
- that
- same
- someone
- claimed
- your
- husband
- had
- just
- been
- murdered
- and
- that
- you
- and
- your
- stepson
- were
- next?Kate
- Ramsdell’s
- a
- squeaky-wheel-gets-the-grease
- kinda
- gal.
- During
- the
- week
- she’s
- an
- administrative
- assistant,
- one
- of
- the
- best
- in
- Tucson,
- Arizona,
- but
- come
- the
- weekend
- Kate
- takes
- off
- her
- typing
- gloves
- and
- goes...Extreme
- mountain
- biking.
- With
- her
- husband
- and
- stepson.Until
- two
- years
- ago
- when
- Kate
- found
- out
- she
- had
- breast
- cancer.
- Then
- she
- tried
- to
- break
- her
- neck.
- Literally.
- That
- put
- an
- end
- to
- the
- extreme
- kind
- of
- biking.
- For
- the
- moment.Now
- the
- cancer’s
- in
- remission,
- her
- neck
- is
- healed,
- and
- all
- Kate
- wants
- to
- do
- is
- help
- her
- stepson
- plan
- his
- wedding.
- After
- all
- –
- he’s
- going
- to
- marry
- her
- best
- friend’s
- daughter.
- How
- much
- fun
- is
- that!The
- fun
- turns
- tragic
- when
- lunch
- is
- interrupted
- by
- a
- phone
- call
- from
- a
- nutcase
- in
- Montana
- named
- Jackson
- Miles,
- a
- voice
- from
- her
- husband’s
- computer
- geek
- past.
- Miles
- insists
- her
- husband
- Dave
- is
- dead
- and
- that
- Kate
- and
- her
- stepson
- are
- in
- danger.If
- she
- and
- Travis
- don’t
- leave
- town
- immediately,
- their
- lives
- may
- be
- forfeit.Really.If
- it
- weren’t
- for
- the
- promise
- Kate
- made
- her
- husband
- long
- ago
- –
- the
- promise
- to
- take
- Jackson
- Miles’
- advice
- if
- and
- when
- it
- were
- ever
- offered
- –
- Kate
- would’ve
- hung
- up
- the
- phone.Instead,
- she
- packs
- her
- bags,
- thinks
- up
- a
- lie
- to
- get
- Travis
- in
- the
- car,
- and
- tries
- to
- disappear.
Only
- disappearing
- isn’t
- as
- easy
- as
- Kate
- expected.
When
- someone
- tries
- to
- blow
- off
- her
- head
- in
- a
- tiny
- roadside
- café,
- she
- decides
- they
- have
- to
- follow
- Miles’
- directions.But
- can
- she
- really
- trust
- a
- man
- when
- she
- gets
- shot
- at
- the
- first
- time
- he
- shows
- his
- face?
Bit
- by
- bit,
- her
- husband’s
- dark
- past
- reveals
- itself,
- sending
- both
- Kate
- and
- Travis
- on
- the
- downhill
- ride
- of
- their
- lives
- with
- twists
- and
- turns
- no
- one
- can
- predict.Not
- even
- the
- enigmatic
- Jackson
- Miles.Dodging
- a
- mysterious
- nemesis
- who
- seems
- to
- know
- their
- every
- move,
- Kate
- and
- Travis
- hit
- the
- road
- -
- destination
- unknown
- -
- while
- Miles
- ferrets
- out
- who
- killed
- Dave
- and
- why.
- Kate
- and
- Travis
- bob
- and
- weave
- and
- double
- back
- on
- their
- trail
- and
- just
- when
- the
- pair
- think
- they’ve
- finally
- eluded
- their
- pursuer,
- Miles
- has
- to
- show
- up
- like
- a
- rotten
- banana
- and
- spoil
- the
- fantasy.
- It
- seems
- Travis
- has
- been
- sending
- covert
- messages
- to
- his
- love,
- messages
- that
- were
- intercepted
- by
- the
- people
- trying
- to
- kill
- them.Now
- Kate’s
- soon-to-be
- daughter-in-law
- is
- heading
- into
- the
- jaws
- of
- a
- deadly
- trap.
- A
- trap
- only
- she
- and
- Travis
- can
- stop
- from springing.
