Chapter 131: WATCHING FROM THE OUTSIDE: FLYNN

Three of the longest minutes of my life passed after Lee and I arrived outside the house. I'd sat contemplating whether or not to go inside. Valerie hadn't responded to any of my texts during that night, and I had no idea what to expect.

I pulled out my cell and went to my emails to check whether Clayton had the final word on whether or not I'd be required in court for Bernie's hearing the following week. As I sat in the drive that day waiting for her, I wondered if she'd actually ride with me to the shoot.

Valerie Darsin - her name leaped off the cell phone screen at me. I could only see the title and the first few words as I rushed to click on the email to see what she'd said. My heart thumped in my chest, and my hand shook as a sudden burst of adrenaline coursed through my body.
