“You said she was attacked. What happened?”
“She was shot.”
“Shot?” It wasn’t an attack then. It was an attempted murder. Imagining Maggie lying in her house wounded and scared, made him want to find the shooter and teach him a lesson he wouldn’t soon forget.
“Yeah. She was lucky, though. The bullet went through the fleshy part of her shoulder, and the doc says she’ll make a full recovery.”
“Did she see the guy who did it?”
“I’m afraid not.”
“Does she have any idea who it might be?”
“I’m not at liberty to say.” Which meant Maggie had an idea, but the deputy didn’t plan to share it.
That was fine. Kane was more than willing to ask Maggie the same question.
“Which hospital was she taken to?”
“Spokane Valley. It’s a thirty-minute drive, though, so you may want to wait until tomorrow to visit her.”
“I told Eli I’d check on her, and that’s what I plan to do.”
“Why don’t I escort you over there then? I’m heading in that direction anyway.”
“Thanks. I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help.”
“If you think of anything else, give the sheriff’s office a call.”
“I will.” Kane got out of the cruiser and hurried to his rental, his mind spinning with possibilities. Maggie had seemed nervous and scared when they’d met. That, combined with the deputy’s refusal to answer Kane’s question about whether or not she’d had any idea who’d shot her, indicated that there was something more going on than a random attack.
Had the attack happened because of what she’d done for Kane and Eli?
She’d made it very clear she didn’t want her picture in the news, and it had been. Kane had seen her in a photo that had flashed across the television screen while Eli was getting ready for bed.
Had that been what led to the attack?
Kane didn’t know, but he planned to find out. Maggie might not want his help, but he owed it to her, and he’d do whatever it took to make sure she stayed safe.
