get out of this but she imagined David had already
been there and left. Maybe he knew she was being
watched or perhaps he thought she was trying to
deceive him.
After she gathered her duffle bag and her purse,
she headed to the ladies room, at least there she
could take a moment to think without being under
the watchful eye of federal agents. She couldn t wait
to see Tanner and her brothers, she would ream them
all a new one for such lame plans. Placing her in this
situation bordered despicable. She felt like a true
thug.
Yeah, well get used to it, she muttered,
practically unaware she was talking to herself.

Everyone forced her to choose sides and now the
agents watching her seemed to think they had it all
figured out. They likely dubbed her a criminal and
soon, very soon, Marcel would be there. Most likely,
he d already arrived and she almost felt his eyes on
the back of her head now.
She entered the crowded bathroom and entered
the rear stall. She almost shut the door when a man
poorly disguised as an old woman pushed her to the
back of it. He quickly covered her mouth as he
slammed the door behind her.
It s me, he told her.
She slowly nodded. He released his hand from her
mouth just long enough for her to start a little lip
action and release a true blood-curdling scream.

Epilogue Unspoken Secrets
Tanner felt like the luckiest man in the world. He
had his little girls on either side of him and he stood
erect with pride as he waited for Ally. A smile settled
on his cheeks and by God, he was a happy man.
Darren nudged him slightly. You ve been waiting
for this moment for as long as I can remember.
Yeah buddy, I have and if you and David hadn t
been such pigheaded lugs, I would ve heard wedding
bells long before now.
He stood a little taller. He eyed the twins who
were starting to squirm. The guests rose to their feet
and the wedding music began to play.
Shew, I gotta tell you man, I love the romance in
the air. He glanced around at the limited number of
guests and nodded at one of his guards giving him the
two-thumbs up gesture.
Darren chuckled. Who the hell are you kidding?
The honeymoon is what you re most interested in at
this point.
Tanner had to admit, he was looking forward to
having Ally back in his arms again. The honeymoon
was just part of what he looked forward to but there
was so much more too. I m just ready for the
happily ever after. He nervously shifted his weight
and looked across the lawn at the patio doors.
He glanced at Darren and then looked around for
the other best man. Where s David?
Darren slapped him on the back. I imagine he s
with our sister. Remember, he s giving her away and
I m giving you the final shove. He ll be here.
Tanner nearly doubled over then in pain. The
truth hit him with a sharp weapon and an invisible
blade. He swallowed hard, trying to focus on the
noise coming from the water. Speed boats, that s

what he heard. Several boats racing for shore.
They re not coming.
Darren reassured him. They ll be here. David
made it to Miami and met up with her in the ladies
room. They ran into a snag or two but I m telling you,
they ll be here. He probably wanted you to have a
few wedding jitters.
Tanner shook his head adamantly. This is the
hell I have with Ally. I feel her pain and her anger as
much as her happiness and something is off.
Something is wrong. She s not coming if they re not
here yet.
Darren turned to look down at the docks as a boat
damn near banked it as it landed nearby. Tanner s
gaze followed his. Another speedboat pulled up at
the same time a few helicopters flew overhead.
Everything else happened quickly yet unfolded in
slow motion.
Mama! Darren turned to find his mother in the
small crowd of islanders gathering for the wedding.
She seemed to understand. She gripped the chair in
front of her and held fast to the metal back, an
apparent attempt to steady her wobbly knees when
she stood.
Tanner grabbed the girls. One on each side, he
hurried them inside. David rushed up from the docks.
Tanner could see a machine gun swinging from his
side. A few rounds of ammunition were shot across [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
