Epilogue
He knocked on the front door with the confidence of a man befitting his authority. The sun had just peeked a tiny sliver of light over the horizon, and the neighborhood was silent. When there was no immediate response in the house, he knocked again, this time with more force.
“Yes? Who is it?” a deep male voice asked.
“US Marshal Adam Kincaid. I’m Peter Linden’s partner. I need you to open the door right now. As you know, we have a Code Red situation.”

Tears sprang to the woman’s eyes. “I’ll... I’ll go get her.” She disappeared down a hallway.
The woman returned with the dark-haired sleeping seven-month-old in her arms. The tears that had gleamed in her eyes moments before now coursed down her cheeks. The little girl was clad in a mint-green sleeper and wrapped in a pink blanket.
“You’ll call us soon?” she asked.
He gave a curt nod. “We have to move now.” He walked to the woman, and СКАЧАТЬ
