Dangerous Refuge

chapter Nine



Everything is going well.

Lorne Davis’s death will be certified as natural.

The nephew is an unexpected problem, but not insurmountable. Tanner Davis has no attachment to the ranch, so even if he ends up with it—unlikely—he’ll sell it to the highest bidder.

If that doesn’t work out, or if the inconvenient cop gets in the way somehow, there will be a really convenient, and fatal, accident in his near future. Nobody will care, especially the brass in L.A.

Nobody will miss Rua, either.

Really, killing him will be a public service. The sooner the better.
