Book excerpt: Albert Jones and several doctors disappear from the hospital along with the blood supply, containing samples of Drulietta and Delamar. While the law is looking for them, Chad moves his family to Willow Isle – their new home. Six months of reprieve tricks him into a false sense of security, and while he is showing the property to his family, gunshots echo through the vastness of the estate. With a pounding heart, Chad runs to Willow Isle, but he is too late. Drulietta is on the lawn, wraps in a rug, and there is no trace of Delamar. Justin tries to gain entrance to the house, but gunshots fly over his head, stopping him in his tracks. With the aid of a blow horn, the marauders announce their demands to gain access to Willow Isle. They give Chad three days to bury Drulietta and bring Delamar to them. Can Chad locates Delamar and saves his family from the new threat on the horizon of their lives?
