to
two different camps, photographers and the photographed – at times against
their will.
He toyed with the idea that they
were a modern version of Romeo and Juliet, but hoped their story would have a
different ending. He had a feeling that something good had the potential to
grow between them, even if it were just for a few short days until reality hit
them when they get back to civilization.
But why was he getting ahead of
himself? Before worrying that their affair might end, he first needed to make
sure it actually started. Andy had no idea if Gloria felt the same way. They
hadn’t had a chance to be alone after that magical moment at the minimart, and
he surely didn’t intend to have the relationship talk in front of the
whole crew. It wouldn’t be very professional of him.
Andy had to clear his mind. He
decided that for now, it would be better to focus solely on work – which was an
immensely difficult mission considering the fact that he was being paid to
shoot Gloria.
Whoever said that the life of
a model photographer was easy?
CHAPTER 12
A fter listening
to Sharon’s persuasive arguments regarding her special interest in the editor,
Kelly Danes, Rob could not reject her inquiry. Chances were that Miss Danes
wasn’t the infamous serial killer they were after, but it would be careless not
to investigate. Nevertheless, he forbade Sharon from contacting Kelly again, at
least not until she presented him with something more concrete that justified
confrontation. He could not face the commissioner empty handed again.
In any case, he thought, it was a
good thing that Sharon hadn’t gone too far and actually blamed Kelly Danes for
murder. That was the last thing he needed right now.
* * *
Kelly had barely dodged the bullet that had been shot
directly at her. The graze of the slug on her neck was a painful reminder.
Luckily, the blood had clotted and she was out of danger, for now.
She had almost fallen into an
abyss because of an insignificant investigator trying to prove herself to her
boss. Who was this Sharon Davis , and why was she so determined to take
her down? She could hear it in the detective’s voice, when they had spoken on
the phone. Kelly had not missed the doubt, the suspicion, and the desire to
blame her for something, no matter what it was. It seemed as though she had
unknowingly made herself an enemy.
Nonetheless, the odds were in her
favor. She had the power, the connections, and all the means necessary to crush
her rival, but still she was afraid to act. The determination and tenacity
Kelly recognized in the detective could not be tossed away so easily, not even
with all the money and the connections she had.
For the first time in almost
three years, ever since that first unripe act of murder, she was worried. Kelly
understood that she had to be extra careful and take a step back.
How she hated Detective Davis for
it.
Maybe she should run far away
from here; she still hadn’t fulfilled her destiny.
On the other hand, Kelly thought,
maybe she was looking at this all wrong. It was clear that the low class
detective would not stop trying to discover whatever it was that she thought
Kelly was hiding, and the harder Kelly resisted, the less chance the cop would
give up. In fact, she might even try to persuade others that she was right.
Or even worse, she might actually
succeed.
How did the old saying go? Keep
your friends close and your enemies closer. . .

Gloria, when they arrived at the shooting site, it was pouring rain, and there
was no choice but to delay the photo shoot until the next day. Great, she had gained
another day off with Andy. Ever since their hot kiss at the gas station, they
hadn’t gotten a chance to be alone, though they had been sitting just inches
away from one another most of the time during the ride to the
two different camps, photographers and the photographed – at times against
