Pulling the flash drive from the computer with trembling fingers, Lillian Davies ducked under the desk just as the office door creaked open to the corridor. A beam of light flashed across the space, bouncing off the filing cabinets and the back of the chair sheâd pulled up against the desk to cover her. She closed her eyes so the beam would not glint in them, and she crouched even lower. Her heart pounded wildly with fear that she would be caught.
If that happened, she would never have a chance to show anyone the evidence that would clear her name. And she would be sent to prison for certain. She held her breath, waiting to be discovered.
If the security guard noticed that the monitor was on...
She could only hope that he would call the police. Because if he called his bossâher former bossâfirst...
Then she might not make it back to jail. He would undoubtedly kill to cover up his crimeâthe one for which heâd framed her. Tom Kuipers must have hired her so he would have a scapegoat for the blame. Sheâd thought he was one of the few people in River City, Michigan, who hadnât judged her based on her last name and who her family was and had been giving her a chance to prove herself.
But she had been wrong. Again.
Tears stung her eyes. She should have been used to it, used to being used. She blinked back the tears, opened her eyes and lifted her chin.
No. She damn well was not going to get used to it. She was going to fight back this time. Because she wasnât fighting just for herself anymore.
