CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN
Keri sat quietly in the passenger seat of Ray’s car, trying to keep Dean Chisolm’s brutalized face and his last words out of her head. He had said that Mr. Holiday was going to kill Sarah today.
Keri had always felt like they were on a ticking clock to save the girl from a life of degradation. But it turned out that they were literally in a race to save her life.
