Excerpt from The Marine's Deadly Reunion
She gave a description of the black Suburban that had sped away. No license plate. Maybe the store’s security camera captured the incident. She holstered her weapon as Jake handed over his driver’s license, showing an out-of-town address.
“What’s the nature of your visit to the Ozarks? Kimbleton, Missouri, is a long way from California.” Jake Fisher? Could he be her scrawny best friend from middle school? If so, he’d grown some muscles. How many times had they talked about what they wanted to be when they grew up? He’d dreamed of becoming a professional football quarterback, and she’d thought about nursing. From the looks of his military attire, he’d changed his mind, as had she.
“I just returned from active duty after receiving word of my sister’s death. She left me everything she owned.” He pointed to the SUV. “She lived in the Ozark Mountains valley along the county line.”
“Who was your sister?” Daria’s curiosity stirred. Would he give the name she remembered?
“Amanda. Our family used to live here, but Dad moved us when he received a job transfer to California.” He shuffled his feet and looked around before returning his attention to her.
