“I don't think he has any idea.”

“What makes you say that?”

“The look on his face last night. He wasn't expecting to be run down on a rainy highway and he never imagined they'd done it on purpose. I spent the entire evening watching the family at the hospital. The dad, Jeffrey, and the sister, Caroline, were worried, but they weren't scared.”

“They should be.”

“They will be.”

“Have you thought about how you're going to handle letting him know what's going on?”

“I'm hoping to catch him alone. TacOps is monitoring the place.”

“No small job.”

“Tell me about it.”

The Harrisons owned a huge swath of property. The land had been in the family for over a hundred years. The family business, Harrison Plastics International, known by everyone in the area as HPI, sat on one side of the road in the valley between two small mountains. One mountain was undeveloped and used as a recreation area for the employees of HPI. The Harrisons' homes dotted the small mountain on the other side.

Blake's home sat on the backside of the mountain, while his parents' home sat in the middle overlooking the valley and the plant. Caroline's home perched near the top of the mountain above their parents'. A gate blocked the winding driveway leading to their houses, but it wouldn't stop anyone determined to get inside.

“Richards is leading the TacOps team,” Heidi continued.

“Good man.”

“He's supposed to let me know if there's a good opportunity to pay Blake Harrison a visit. If nothing comes up soon, I may just have to knock on his door.”
