The woman was pregnant!

“Stay!” Tristan commanded his K-9 partner, and Jesse dropped down with a grunted protest.

A woman appeared in the window. Dark hair. Pale skin. Freckles. Very pregnant belly that wasn’t cooperating as she struggled to crawl through the opening.

“You okay?” he asked, running to her side.

She shook her head, dark gray eyes wide with shock, a smear of blood on her right hand. She’d cut herself. It looked deep, but she didn’t seem to notice. “There’s a gunman. He tried to shoot me.”

The words were calm, crisp and clear, and they chilled Tristan to the bone. Two women had already been murdered in Desert Valley. Was Ariel Martin slated to be the third?
