Summary
Gerry Hinton thought she had the perfect career as an operative for the Company. Her next assignment should have been another "mission accomplished", but hell was delivering hand baskets that day.
When a little girl gives a mysterious silver box to Gerry, her world self-destructs. Suddenly under constant mental attacks, the only person who can save her is her partner, Nicky--but nothing comes without a cost. Secrets buried deep in the past begin to rise, threatening everything she holds dear.
Excerpt 6
A few paces and he stopped a
moment to admire the airplane waiting for them on the ramp. It was an older
model Cessna 172, not painted white as most planes were but sporting its
original polished silver skin. The accent stripes were gold and resembled what
Nicky had seen in old aviation books. LaGrone hadn’t said, but he knew it was
probably a late 1950s model because it had the straight tail feature that
phased out of that model just a year or so into the ‘60s.
Gerry touched his shoulder to get
his attention. “What’s wrong?”
He laughed at his own
sentimentality and shook his head. “Nothing. She’s just a beautiful plane is all.”
LaGrone told him he’d done a
walk-around inspection for him already, but there were some things Nicky didn’t
compromise on. He sensed Gerry watching him as he started at the nose and
worked his way around the entire plane, examining the prop, the wings, the tail
and other mechanical workings before opening the door to get inside.
He took several moments to
familiarize himself with the gauges and knobs in the cockpit, then hooked up
the GPS. After connecting the two sets of headphones – provided by LaGrone for
another extra fee – he turned to hand a pair to Gerry. He noticed she had
buckled her seatbelt and harness so tightly that it looked like the straps
would sever her into pieces.
He reached across to loosen them
so she would be allowed to breath, then he helped her place the headphones on
her head. Pulling the master switch to power up the electronics, he adjusted
the mic on his headphones and turned to her. “Can you hear me?”
She just nodded, her face pale
and her eyes wide.
“Baby, I need you to answer me so
I’ll know your mic works.”
Her hand flew to the arm of the
microphone extending from the headphones and she pulled it to her mouth.
“Okay?”
“Yeah,” he grinned, patting her
knee. “Okay. I hear you loud and clear.”
Turning his mouth toward the
pilot-side door, he lowered his mic and called out “Clear prop!” to warn any
people in the vicinity that he was about to start the engine.

When
Olivia Hardin began having strange movie-like dreams in her teens, she had no
choice but to begin putting them to paper. Before long the writing bug had her and she knew she wanted
to be a published author. Several
rejections plus a little bit of life later, and she was temporarily “cured” of
the urge to write. That is until
she met a group of talented and fabulous writers who gave her the direction and
encouragement she needed to get lost in the words again.
Olivia’s
attended three different universities over the years. She toyed with majors in Computer Technology, English,
History and Geology until one day she heard the term road scholar and she knew
that was what she wanted to be.
Now she “studies” anything and everything just for the joy of
learning. She's also an
insatiable crafter who only completes about 1 out of 5 projects, a jogger who
hates to run, and she’s sometimes accused of being artistic.
A native
Texas girl, Olivia lives in the beautiful Lone Star state with her husband,
Danny and their puppy, Bonnie.
