Fates Hands novel Chapter 72

Chapter 7–Book 2

FBI Agent David Whitmore was getting all kinds of information, that he never thought he would. Everyone came to him though, in a sneaky manner, it was as if they were afraid to be seen with him. When he started to get the information he understood why that was.

So Mr. Sheriff was a drug dealer and an enforcer. He probably also has a few more hobbies, such as he is either responsible for the missing people or he knows who is. He was thinking that it was gonna be both.

The problem is he was going to have to find solid proof for all the word of mouth he has been listening to.

Though that woman Maggi tweaked his interest in more ways than one.

He hoped that no one would find out

what Maggi knew, otherwise she may end up the next missing person on the list. David decided that he would keep an eye on her, just to make sure she is safe.

He is pretty certain though she could handle herself if a situation turned up. She did say that she kept a loaded shotgun in her house. She also mentioned that it was loaded with rock salt.

He had only one thought about that, OUCH. The gun may not necessarily be lethal, but anyone who got some of that in their ass would surely know it and would not be coming back for more.

Still, he will keep an eye on her just the same.

Now, it is time to go and see if the Sheriff is in. He hoped that he wasn’t too busy dealing, to have a word with

him. He knew he wasn’t though David watched him turn down a dirt road about ten minutes ago.

The Sheriff had been following him all day, David eluded him several times. You would think the guy would take a hint and learn to be more subtle in his stakeouts.

For the first time in Sheriff Avery’s life, he was getting paranoid. Fear was creeping in on him. Why was the FBI agent here? Why was he asking questions in the surrounding towns? He even knew that Avery was tailing

him.

He caught Avery every time he was either parked or moved to follow him. It made his anxiety worse. He didn’t look like the bribing kind either.

Was he here to investigate the

missing people cases or was he here to investigate him. Avery wasn’t sure anymore. It wasn’t like you could just have the FBI agent go missing either. That would bring all kinds of hell down he didn’t need.

So the only other he could think of was to go and start making sure people stopped talking. If they don’t then they will be among the missing as well.

Jack finally got her to calm down enough at least so she would talk. She sat as far away from him as she could get, without him starting to chase her again.

“Perhaps we should start over, My name is Jack Dawson, what is your name?”

She looked at him cautiously, unsure

if she should tell him. Then she shrugged her shoulders.

“My name is Nova.”

“Jack knew that that wasn’t her real name or at least not all of it, perhaps it was a nickname.”

“Well, then Nova why are you out here in the middle of the forest alone? Are you running from someone?”

“Perhaps before I answer your question why don’t you tell me why you’re out here with only jogging pants on? You’re not one of those weirdos who run around hugging trees and eating grass? Cause if that is the case then I think it’s best if we part ways here.”

Jack just stared at her for a little bit, he liked Nova’s spunk. He had to be careful though, looking at all those

wonderful curves and watching her swim naked yesterday was having an undesired effect on parts of his anatomy.

“Well, I am out here on a sort of a camping expedition. Getting away from all the craziness out there in the world for a little while. I am not one of those people. I have no intention to hug a tree and eat grass.”
