SNEAK PREVIEW…
βWhere is she?β
LaSalle pointed over the ledge. Stanton looked doubtfully at him and then down. Aliceβs body lay several feet below, bleeding and unmoving. He shoved LaSalle out of the way, knocking him to the ground as he hurriedly went to her.
βAlice!β he shouted. βAre you all right? Can you hear me?β
When he reached her, she was still breathing. He cradled her upper body in his arms, the sight of blood trickling from her nose and mouth sending fear and panic up his spine. He said her name again and her eyes fluttered open. Her hand moved slowly along his arm.
βStanton,β she gasped. βIt hurts.β
βAlice,β he said, his heart pounding in his head. βAlice, what happened? Did you slip?β
βNo,β she whispered. βCharlesβ¦β
βCharles? Charles what?β
βHeβ¦ he triedβ¦β
βWhat, Alice? What?β
She attempted to respond, but instead smiled at him just as her life left her.
βNo,β he said. βNo, Alice, no.β
He looked up, saw Clara and LaSalle standing nearby. His gazed narrowed, focused on LaSalle.
βYou rotten son of a bitch,β he growled. βIβll kill you.β
LaSalleβs eyes widened and he turned and ran. Stanton went after him, but Clara stood in his way.
βLet him go,β she urged. βIt was an accident.β
βLike hell it was.β
βNo, it was. He told me. She saw a snake and screamed. She backed away and her ankle gave out, tumbling her over the edge.β
Stanton snorted. βA likely story.β
She grabbed his arm tightly. βStanton, itβs true. I know you think he shoved her, but he didnβt. Charles would never do that.β
βSheβs dead.β
βOh, Stanton,β she said and held him close.
βThat son of a bitch,β he blurted suddenly, pulling away. βHeβs going to try to get away with it.β
βStanton!β Clara cried, but he was off.
He ran as fast as he could, fueled by anger, but by the time he reached LaSalle, he was already behind the wheel and driving off. Stanton darted for his own automobile and paused. He looked back and Clara hurrying after him in her long dress and high heels. He leaned against the hood of the car, still breathing heavily.
βStanton,β Clara called when she got closer. βCharles went to get help.β
βLike hell,β Stanton spat. βHe killed her.β
βStanton, no. Heββ
βAlice told me so,β he said. βJust before she died in my arms.β
βNo,β she whispered. βHe couldnβt have.β
