A look into the story

~ Blurb ~ * Lauren Madison’s life started unravelling at a speed too fast for her to keep up with. Every truth she had taken for granted was torn away, and the pieces that were left painted no clear pictures at all…only more confusion.
* The only pillar of strength in her fragile life was David Wagner, her bodyguard who was placed in witness protection. But, what had he seen that day, and why couldn’t she remember?
* She had no choice but to run. And if her life was threatened again, who would be there to protect her? ~ Excerpt ~ * David.
* I had to see his grave. I figured it would give me some closure since I’d probably never see him again. Dad had seen it fit to order a funeral service in addition to placing him in witness protection, in order to close up any loose ends. I couldn’t blame him knowing the types of people he was getting threats from. It seemed everyone wanted their hands in on his research, especially knowing that his team had finally narrowed down a microbe that could single out and fight certain cancer cells. He was close to a miracle. So close.
* Shaking my head I tried to recall why I was in this grocery store in Kingman, Arizona. I wanted to pick up some flowers to take to David’s grave, that’s it.
* Get it together, Lauren.
* And, what the hell was I thinking sneaking away in the middle of the night to drive to Arizona? Dad was going to be so upset. He’d probably fire Michelle, which was fine with me because she gave me the creeps anyway. I didn’t like the way she studied me. With her I felt more like a germ under a microscope than with any of my previous bodyguards. She was so stuffy. Actually, most of them were stuffy.
* Except David. He hadn’t been stuffy.
