Excerpt
Riding along Interstate 45 to Galveston Island, Jordan poured herself a Jack and Coke from the limousine bar and leaned back in her seat, brushing her hair from her shoulder. Straightening her dress to prevent creases, she thought of Julie Black, and how similar their dresses were. What a small world this is. In the past two days I've crossed paths with two women who not only looked like me, but were similar in age, as well. Recalling the first, Elizabeth Miller, and how she’d been slumped over in her seat, her hair blood-soaked, face disfigured from the gunshot wound, Jordan quivered and took a sip of her cocktail.
It really is ironic just how many people look alike, she thought, recalling the woman from the casino who had thought Grant looked like her dead fiancé. With all the strange similarities she had experienced in the past twenty-four hours, Jordan, who had never before believed in coincidence, was now open to the idea that anything was possible. Raising her glass in silence, she toasted Julie. Here's hoping you got a car.
A rental car headed south on Interstate 45, toward the coast. Just after passing through Bayou Vista, it was forced off the road in an isolated area and drove full-speed into a steep ditch, killing the driver instantly. Her neck was broken by the impact as her head went through the driver’s side window.
A white Cadillac Seville pulled slowly up to the accident scene and a man cautiously stepped from the Seville, climbed down into the ditch, and opened the driver’s door. Reaching in, his leather-gloved hands pulled the lifeless body from the car, letting it drop to the ground. He reached in once more, turned off the headlights, and moved the ignition key to the off position.
Climbing out of the ditch and looking down the road, he signaled to the man who’d remained in the passenger seat of the Seville, that another car was approaching. His accomplice slid out of sight as the gloved man turned and faced the shoulder of the road, appearing as if he were relieving himself.
When all that remained of the car was a cloud of exhaust and road dust, he again motioned to his accomplice. As if well-choreographed, his accomplice stepped out of the Seville and walked to the back of the car, opening the trunk. The gloved man picked up the lifeless body, carried it up the slope, and dumped it unceremoniously into the trunk, slamming the lid shut.
The men climbed back into the Seville and without exchanging a single word, continued south on Interstate 45 toward Galveston Island, Julie Black’s battered corpse stashed casually in the trunk, like a child’s forgotten rag doll.
