happened?”
“ We were in an accident,” He told her. “Are you hurt anywhere?”
“ Nothing major.” She replied, her voice hoarse.
But that didn't mean she was in the clear. She could have internal injuries that could prove deadly in a few hours.
Michael looked over to the burning truck and destroyed 4x4 and said, “We need to get out of here. Nolan could have escaped that explosion and still be armed.”
Ric knew they had to move, but he didn't want to move Jessi in case they made her possible injuries worse. In the end, however, moving was the logical choice and he lifted Jessi into his arms as he followed Michael through the woods and to a road that lead to houses that were just off the highway.

In the opposite direction, former AFP agent Kevin Nolan had managed to steal a car and get on the highway that would take him back to Cairns. He was breaking all the speed limits in a effort to make it back to the city, because he had a new plan that would end with both Jessica and her man-whore boyfriend dead.
He couldn't believe that bitch was dating again!
They'd only been divorced for a few months.
But Kevin took some comfort in knowing that the relationship couldn't be that serious because they weren't living together. Over-taking an oil tanker, Kevin raced on along the A1 highway, determined to get to Cairns. He had an uncle that lived in the area and he knew the former Army captain would be too happy to assist him in getting rid of a navy man. He also knew his uncle would have a cache of weapons he could use that couldn't be traced to anyone.
Weapons he could use to make that slutty bitch pay for what she'd done to him.
He'd lost his federal agent status and spent time in prison because she'd cried rape on the night of their anniversary.
The bitch was responsible for all the hardship he'd been going through lately and he wouldn't be happy until she and her new boyfriend were buried six feet under.
Ric, Jessi and Michael came across an old farm house with two Ford ute's and an old Ford sedan parked out front and counted their blessings. Ric stayed behind with Jessi still in his arms as Michael went to the front door and spoke with an elderly man, flashing his badge to put him at ease.
“ How are you holding up?” Ric asked while they waited.
“ I'm okay. A little tired, but otherwise fine.”
“ You can sleep. I won't drop you.”
She smiled and said, “You know, I can walk.”
“ I know.” Was all he said.
Michael gestured them over as he opened the passenger door of the old '85 Falcon and Ric carried her over to the car, putting her in the back seat before climbing in under the wheel, Michael's injury making it impossible for him to drive.
“ Get us back to Cairns ASAP, Jordan.” He told Ric. “I need to let HQ know Nolan is on the loose and what he's done.”
Ric didn't need to be told twice.
Both Michael and Jessi needed a hospital, and he had to check in with the ship to make sure they hadn't been crashed-sailed or their departure date later in the month hadn't been moved up.
He looked over at Michael briefly before returning his attention to the road and said, “Just so you know, I plan on taking Jessi home with me for the holidays. I can keep her safe if she's with me and my family in Bungalow.”
“ Following in the footsteps of Coleman, eh?”
Ric smiled slightly and said, “It worked for him. I can only hope it works for me.”
“ You do know that she isn't going to be safe until Nolan is back in jail or dead?”
Ric looked in the rear-view mirror at Jessi, who was asleep on the backseat, and replied, “I know.”
Killing Nolan was a tempting notion, but he wasn't going to risk his freedom or his career just to kill that son of a bitch.
His best option was to keep Jessi by his side at all times until Nolan was where he belonged.
