Contents
Deputy Court McCall glanced down at the blood on his shirt. His fatherâs blood. Just the sight of it sliced away at him and made him feel as if someone had put a bullet in him, too.
Court hadnât changed into clean clothes because he wanted Rayna Travers to see what she had done. He wanted to be right in her face when he told her that sheâd failed.
Barely though.
His father, Warren, was still alive, hanging on by a thread, but Court refused to accept that he wouldnât make it. No, his father would not only recover, but Warren would also help Court put Rayna behind bars. This time, she wasnât going to get away with murder.
Court pulled to a stop in front of her house, a place not exactly on the beaten path. Of course, that applied to a lot of the homes in or near McCall Canyon. His ancestors had founded the town over a hundred years ago, and it had become exactly what theyâd intended it to beâa ranching community.
What they almost certainly hadnât counted on was having a would-be killer in their midst.
Court looked down at his hands. Steady. That was good. Because there was nothing steady inside him. The anger was bubbling up, and he had to make sure he reined in his temper enough to arrest Rayna. He wouldnât resort to strong-arm tactics, but there was a high chance he would say something he shouldnât.
Since Raynaâs car was in her driveway, it probably meant she was home. Good. He hadnât wanted to go hunting for her. Still, it was somewhat of a surprise that she hadnât gone on the run. Of course, she was probably going to say she was innocent, that she hadnât had anything to do with the shot thatâd slammed into his fatherâs chest. But simply put, she had a strong motive to kill a McCall.
