Last week we saw that after the wrestling match started, Cade hit Rocky with a chair, and Rocky didn't get up. We also saw that in the ambulance he asked if it was safe to sit up, and at that point Aimee slapped him. The driver just told Aimee there was no call to hit him because it wasn't his fault. Aimee doesn't think Dave (the driver) and Rocky understand the seriousness of their position. (They ticked off drug dealers and have to fake Rocky's death so he can enter the witness protection program.)
Excerpt:
Dave’s loud voice overrode hers. “I see the hospital. Look panicked, ma’am, if you can.”
Wonder what would happen if she slugged good ole Dave? No, she couldn’t do that. He was a federal agent after all. She sat on her hands to avoid temptation.
The ambulance screeched to a halt outside the emergency
room door. Since she felt so bad, it wasn’t much trouble to look
miserable and scared. She grabbed Rocky’s hand and ran beside the
stretcher as they entered the hospital, a hulking structure whose
dark, ominous appearance made her heart race.
Blurb:
Aimee Sherwood never dreamed that following her fiancé into the witness protection pro-gram would land her in a haunted house in a town that’s downright creepy. She’d have laughed if she had been told the guy who lives down the road might be her soul mate, not the man whose ring she’s wearing. Life in West Virginia is nothing like life in Los Angeles, but between bean ball battles with Marilyn Monroe, remodeling a crumbling farmhouse, and starting a new online business, life in the country is anything but boring.

"Look panicked" - No problem!
ReplyDeleteDropped right in the middle but I'm excited to read more.
ReplyDeleteI'm beginning to wonder about Dave's safety. LOL
ReplyDeleteAnother excellent snippet! I feel so sorry for your heroine as she tries to cope...
ReplyDeleteAimee has really gotten herself into a mess. Love her reaction to Dave. LOL Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteProbably not a good idea to hit Dave, no. Though I can see why she'd want to!
ReplyDeleteHer tension comes through loud and clear in her thoughts and actions.
ReplyDelete"Look panicked..." I love that!
ReplyDeleteLove it
ReplyDeleteMaybe being so p*ssed off will be mistaken for worry, lol.
ReplyDeleteI can understand her ire if it was his reckless behavior that put them into this situation.
I'm glad she held herself back. Going to jail at that moment wouldn't be a good idea. :)
ReplyDeleteI think she's handling this correctly. Anger will get her far better mileage than being meek or frightened.
ReplyDeleteThe hospital doesn't appear very encouraging. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering why they're still going to the hospital if they are faking his death. Couldn't they have ruled him dead on the transport and not made such a big fuss? Seems like a lot could go wrong this way.
