“I like to think of myself as a highly skilled Texas Ranger. Come on, get in.”
“Who had his gun and ID lifted by little ol’ me,” she mumbled.
“There’s no reason to get nasty.”
“I’ll admit defeat when you confess how you found me.”
“I had a map. Calculated your foot speed—they teach us things like that.”
“And how long have you really been here?”
“All right. I tried several roads before deciding on this one. Satisfied? I got lucky and saw something moving from the road over there. Been waiting about fifteen minutes.”
“So you guessed.”
“Pretty much.” He grinned.
The dark wasn’t pitch-black, even with no moon hanging overhead. She could see that he’d found his shirt from where she’d hidden it in the barn. That meant he’d found his gun, too. Bryce could force her to go with him. If he was a dirty cop he could make her disappear. Especially now that she’d told Lisa she had to leave town.
No one would be looking for her.
There was nothing she could do to prevent it. Not here. She had to get back to town, maybe show her face at the Stop-N-Get It. But her instincts told her that Bryce was legit. A good person who believed he was following the law and had her best interests at heart.
Right. That’s what they all say.
“If I keep walking down this road...” She threw her chin in the direction behind the truck. “Are you going to arrest me?”
“Don’t make me, Kylie.”
Her fingers were already wrapped around the handle. She was getting into the truck, she had little choice. But she didn’t have to like it. They both got inside and slammed their doors.
“You need someone to look out for your safety,” he said softly, reaching for the ignition key.
“No offense, but I think I was doing pretty good without you.”
Exhaustion like she hadn’t felt in five years hit her like a slow wave as soon as she sat down. It started in her shoulders and crept up her neck, then down her back. She hadn’t stopped and had barely slowed, holding a steady pace across those fields. And yet, Texas Ranger Bryce Johnson had been waiting on her.
Just dumb luck? Or was he really that skilled?
