Babyhood by Penelope Leach
Work took a lot out of me. It wasn't just chasing down criminals or filling out tons of paperwork. It was the threats. Sometimes, they turned out to be more than empty promises. The long hours spent testifying in the courtroom made me crazy. Having to relive and repeat the same facts over and over could mess with anyone's head. Couple that with constant nightmares and it was easy to understand why I felt a bit unbalanced. So this long weekend was going to be perfect. Michael rented a beach house. We were going to spend four glorious days during the off season relaxing and reconnecting. Too bad someone was targeting him.The call came in during our first night of vacation. What would follow would forever change the course of our lives and our relationship. This was going to be one killer getaway.
