“Yeah.” His gaze locked on Laurie. “Really? But that’s gotta be a five-hour ride from here.” His hands clenched into fists. “Yeah, I get it. His terms.” He listened for a while, clearly getting detailed instructions from his friend. “Okay. I’ll make sure I get her there in time.” He stuffed his phone into his jeans pocket and turned to Laurie. “Okay, we’ll have to boot it to get there in time. Laurie, you have to take the necklace to an Officer Parker, someone Killer knows and trusts. Your ex says if Parker confirms he has the necklace by ten P.M., he’ll drop the charges. And if we don’t make it, he’ll prosecute and demand the maximum sentence.” Laurie’s chest constricted. And with his connections and money, he’d get what he wanted. “Don’t look so worried, Laurie. If we leave now, we should be able to make it with time to spare.” Raven stood up and pulled on her jacket. “Laurie, where’s the necklace now?” Rip asked. Laurie’s gaze darted to his, and her stomach tightened.
