Jo-Ann Lamon Reccoppa - Jersey Girl 01 - New Math Is Murder - Plot & Excerpts
The car seemed to float on the black water and drift away from the shore like a clunky metal raft. My headlights stayed on. There were gentle ripples on the bay, but the water was calm. “You’re okay. You’re fine,” I told myself. My white-knuckled grip on the steering wheel said otherwise. My seaworthy craft floated in suspended animation for a short time, until the trunk, heavy with the four bags of rock salt I had bought way back in January, began to take on water. The headlights no longer skimmed the bay’s surface. They began to tilt upward, like searchlights at a store opening. I panicked and tried the door. It wouldn’t budge. “Calm down!” I ordered myself. “Think, Colleen!” Nothing much came to me except that I had to get the door open and it wouldn’t give. The pressure of the water wouldn’t allow it. I reached through the open window and tugged at the outside handle. That didn’t work either. Fishy-smelling water filled up the back seat. I struggled, unable to move an inch.
