here. You’re going to be stripped of your badge. You won’tget away with this.”

“It’s going to be all right,” Laura saidlightly, brightly, glancing into Amy’s eyes. The girl clung to her, her armsgoing around Laura’s neck. Even though she was clearly still distressed, shewas no longer crying. She kept looking at Laura, not around or back at herfather. Like Laura was her rock.

And that was all Laura had ever wantedto be.

Governor Fallow was shouting and screamingbehind her, his voice on crescendo after crescendo, threatening her with legalaction, telling her everything she was going to lose. Laura didn’t care. Shestopped listening.

At the door, she turned back. There wasno one else in sight. The housekeeper had disappeared. Mrs. Fallow had notemerged. Even she had to know that this was what was best for her daughter.

It was only her and the governor.

“You,” she said, her voice quiet andlow, aimed directly at him like a bullet between his eyes. “If you make a fussabout this, if you so much as make an offhand comment to my boss, I will endyou. I will testify in court about what I’ve seen, and so will others. And Iwon’t even need to. With the footage I’ve seen from that room, no one would letthis defenseless, innocent little girl back in a room with you. And you cankiss your political career goodbye, too. One word—and everything you have goesup in flames. Do you understand me?”

She didn’t wait to hear if heunderstood. She took in his wide eyes, red face, his spluttering mouth, andturned away. She carried on walking, marching Amy right to the car and settingher inside, putting on her seatbelt in the backseat.

As she walked back to her door and gotbehind the wheel, Laura dared to take one look back at the house. The door wasgaping empty, the governor gone. He’d either believed her, or he hadn’t. Thewide-eyed look he’d had when she threatened his career was at least promising.

Implying that the FBI had been secretlyrecording him had been inspired, if a complete falsehood. Psychic visionscouldn’t be submitted as evidence of wrongdoing. If the governor ignored herwarnings and tried to retaliate, Laura would be in serious trouble. She couldbe fired for this. Arrested for kidnapping.

But for now, Amy was safe in the back ofher car. And, as she drove away, Laura couldn’t be worried about that. Shecould only be relieved.

She had no idea where she would takeher, what she would do next, but as she put distance between their car and themansion, she knew that distance was everything.

Hell would rain down on her.

Let it.

Laura had no idea what came next. Whather next move would be.

But for now, the girl was safe.

And that was all that mattered.
