H&K: Path of Knowledge
Chapter 15 Katharine drove deep into the New Jersey Pine Barrens, far from any houses or cities. She turned down a dirt road, taking her farther away from civilization. Her passenger would be unconscious for a long while yet. Her destination was an old water pump house from some century long ago. When the headlights of the Audi shone on the pump house, Katharine pulled to a stop. She opened the driver’s door and got out.

Against Sarasin’s orders, she had snuck off in search of Samantha Craig.

She was set on meeting this woman face to face.

Chapter 13 Hank and Sarasin sat at a far table in the darkest part of the historic building being used as a bar now. The cell phone they had taken from Billings buzzed as Samantha Craig called. They looked around to observe a young woman standing at the entrance. It was not Samantha Craig. The two stood up and made for the door to leave. They passed by the woman who was looking around the bar for those she was to meet.

Chapter 9 Karen sat at the end of the couch in the family room, watching the news that was showing an earlier press conference concerning Doctor Martin. Karen was home alone with her baby daughter, Julia, while her other children were at a sleepover at her sister’s. Her hand covered her mouth as she stifled a gasp as they announced that the police had released Doctor Martin and all charges were dropped due to false information and no proof of the allegations. Her heart sank and her stomach knotted. How could they sweep it all under the rug? The conference added that they were seeking Officer Bob Roy for questioning in connection with falsifying evidence. She didn’t notice as the window pane of her back door was covered in duct tape as a brick lightly tapped the pane of glass out. A hand reached in and unlocked the back door as the intruder made his way into the house without alerting Karen.

Chapter 7 Bob arrived home after seven at night, fuming as Hank pulled up behind him. He pulled into the carport before climbing out of the Honda SUV, muttering to himself. Hank walked up and closed the gate before Bob could take hold of the gate.

H&K: Path of Knowledge
Chapter 6 The next day, Tess and Bob’s children returned home from their grandparents. Tess had found the strength to overcome her frustration and finally stopped apologizing for her outburst the day before. She poured herself into researching comments about Doctor Martin’s online blogs and other sources. Numerous patients and other women had posted about his behavior toward them. There were several articles of lawsuits filed by Doctor Martin for defamation of character that he had won against several women who had accused him of inappropriate actions. When the research got too much, she would step away from the computer and go to the garage where they had a punching bag and sparring dummy set up for when they had all taken karate and taekwondo. Tess had even taken kickboxing at one point, enjoying the intense workout it gave her.

Chapter 5 Hank had found the car keys were for a green 1965 Mustang parked not far away. After inspecting it, he found a couple of duffel bags full of weapons, clothes, and equipment he would need. He found a set of earbud transceivers and two radios with spec ops tactical throat mics. A small plastic container held two pounds of C4 and four detonators. There was an M4 carbine with twenty-one thirty-round magazines and ten magazines for the H&K. Hank smiled when he saw the batch of baby’s breath flowers the garrote wrapped around it. Baby’s breath was Sarasin’s favorite flower.
