Читать книгу Anything for His Son - Rita Herron - Страница 2

Was it a trap?

The air felt different, smelled different. Ethan hesitated a moment, then opened the door to the empty condo. The explosion shook the floor, shattered glass. Instinctively he threw his arms over Rebecca to protect her from the debris, as fire exploded inside the room.

“Bec, are you hurt?”

“I’m all right,” she managed. “But what if…what if Jesse was in there?”

He pushed to his knees. “I’ll find out.” Fear darkened his eyes; then he turned and ran into the blazing condo, yelling Jesse’s name.

Rebecca’s heart clenched. Ethan would do anything for his son. She couldn’t lose him or Jesse.

Heat seared her as she darted into the condo behind him. Flames clawed at the walls and filled her nose with smoke. Still she dug through the splintered wood. Her breath caught as she spotted something red beneath the mess. She dug it out and screamed in horror.

It was Jesse’s baseball cap.
