it was definitely a mistake—with the Rangers?
“Do you have other cases that might relate to the unusual fires or have someone with a grudge?”
The levity was gone. Serious Texas Ranger was back behind the wheel.
“I have twenty-seven open cases on my desk. Hundreds more that I’ve filed away. How am I supposed to determine which one is involved with a murder I didn’t commit? Especially without access to my files.”
He slowed the truck, dropping his arm across the back of the seat and letting his fingers touch her shoulder.
“Megan—”
“Please don’t tell me that everything will work out.”
“We’re being followed.”
“What?” She jerked her head around to look out the back window. His fingers blocked her movement, keeping her facing him. “You’ve got to be kidding. How would they know where we are?”
“No, no, just look at me. It’s a black SUV, dark windows. There’s an identical one three cars ahead.”
“No chance they’re law enforcement?” She identified both of the vehicles and decided the answer was a big fat no. “Call it in. You can do that, right?”
Jack’s free hand was already headed to his phone. She kept alternating her peripheral vision from the SUV she could see in the side mirror to the one slowing down in front. Slowing down with just one car between them.
“...that’s right. I’m bringing in Megan Harper, who voluntarily surrendered. We’re being followed, maybe ambushed. Sure, I’ll stay on the line.”
“The one in front has cracked its windows. Is that bad? Are they trying to shoot us?”
“Hang on.”
Jack slowed down for a red light, forcing the SUV in front to go through it. He pulled into the intersection and did a U-turn in front of approaching traffic. Cars slammed on their brakes, tires squealed to a halt, but there were no crashes that Megan could see or hear.
