CHAPTER
ONE
––––––––
Trust, like a tightrope, is thin and precarious. It is walked with careful deliberation at one’s personal pace, one foot in front of the other. Once on the other side, you might be rewarded with new friends or maybe a relationship you can count on in time of need. If there is a fall, or the rope breaks, the traveler can be left with deep wounds that last a lifetime. Kate never trusted Nick, not for a moment, even though she had lived with him. She couldn’t recall trusting anyone since she was twelve. Once the thin cord under her feet broke and she plummeted to the ground, she’d never traversed it again. Not until she met Ozzie Byrd. They hadn’t known each other long, but something in her gut told her he could be trusted. Now Ozzie was dead and once again she had no one to trust. Ozzie had told her to trust Bill. She wasn’t sure she was ready to take those steps again.
It took Kate five days to get to the small town in Missouri where the mysterious Bill had directed her to wait for him. She’d taken the northern route rather than the quicker southern route that would have taken her through Arizona and New Mexico. She wanted to stay the hell out of both of those states, at least for now. She didn’t know if Stake’s men were still looking for her now that their leader was dead, but she wasn’t taking any chances. Along the way, she stayed in parking lots or in pull outs in rural areas. Checking Ozzie’s phone, she noticed the RV apps and used a couple to find parking a few nights. Other than that, she kept it off in case someone was tracking it. She ate in the van, or in fast food places. She kept her cap on and pulled down over her face whenever outside the van. The first few nights she was nervous and barely slept, then she and Punch settled into a routine. She was thankful for both the dog’s company and protection. Punch was small and friendly, but he was alert and an excellent alarm system.
When she got to her destination, she called Bill as he had instructed, using the special phone Ozzie has used for contact with Bill. Twenty minutes later a man and woman in their early seventies driving a shiny black pickup truck pulled up to her RV and got out. She left the RV to greet them, her legs taut and electric, ready to bolt at the first sign of danger. She had the gun Ozzie had given her tucked into the back waist of her jeans, her t-shirt pulled down over it. The presence of the woman made her feel a little better, as did their ages,
