Welcome to the Official J.D. Mason Website!
"She’d been driving most of the night, heading west, away from Kansas City; pushing one eight track into the dashboard after another. Her eyes burned and more than anything, she wanted to pull over and sleep, just for a few minutes. But fear wouldn’t let her.
Charlotte Rodgers moaned from the back seat of the car. “You need a doctor, Charlotte,” Lynn’s voice cracked. “We’ll stop when—when we’re far enough away. When I know he ain’t gonna find us.”
Charlotte understood, and at least she was alive. Jesus! If Lynn hadn’t gotten to her when she did— She rubbed her forehead, and dread weighted in her stomach. “What the hell was I thinking,” she whispered to herself. Bile rose up in the back of her throat. Lynn had made the worst mistake in her life. One that could cost her as much, if not more than Charlotte, who wasn’t really even her friend. She just helped her because, it could’ve just as easily have been Lynn in that position. At any given time, it could’ve been any woman. If he ever found Charlotte, Lynn’s life wouldn’t be worth a damn. She stifled a sob."
