Chapter 12: Crazy

'You've got a lot of explaining to do,' he says. We're driving on the highway again, trying to get as much distance between us and that parking lot as we can.

'I know.' The hum of the engine makes the silence less threatening. It makes the story that I need to tell less threatening, too.

I lean back into the chair and take a deep breath. 'Where do you want me to start? We don't have much time.'

'Why? We have a long road trip ahead of us. We've got all the time in the world.'

I chuckle, he has no idea. 'I assume you've gotten some kind of information on me before you started your assignment?'

He nods, 'Yeah, some shit about your medical history, and that you're the daughter of John Miller.'
