“It’s no use. We’ll never be safe. Randall will always find us.” Beth’s shoulders shook as Audrey held her.
“We won’t let him hurt you.” Audrey stroked her back as if Beth was a distraught child.
“What if he gets a court order to have Mia taken away from me? He can pull strings. He knows all the judges. They trust him!”
Audrey stared over her shoulder at Jackson as she murmured words of reassurance. “It’ll be all right. He can’t do that.”
“I don’t know, babe.” Jackson held up Randall’s card. “The man’s a prosecuting attorney. He might have some clout in the court system.”
“He does. I couldn’t tell anyone he was…hurting me. No one would have believed me. Randall has every cop in Austin batting on his team. He’s considering running for election to the US Senate. You heard him. He’ll tell everyone I’ve gone off the deep end with postpartum depression.”
