They were still there, veiny and impressive, at least for the duration of an eye blink. The tattoo too, at the very bottom of her lower abdomen \u2013 a bright red devil fashioned in the style of a Japanese kabuki mask. It was the feature she loathed most on her whole body. Not that tattoo, but the one it was covering. Sometimes, in certain lights, she swore she could still see the words beneath.<\/p>\n

* Sneed didn\u2019t answer Dahlia\u2019s text. She stood out the front of her house, pondering what that could mean, when she heard Fowler coming, her Ford Escort gliding to a stop alongside Dahlia. Dahlia eased into the car and Fowler drove off. Her car did sound like a beast, capable of tearing the road to pieces, yet she drove like a learner \u2013 one who wanted to pass their test, but also had to get to a hospital as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

\u2018Your boss get in touch with you?\u2019 \u2018Texted me. Didn\u2019t say much.\u2019 \u2018You seen his presser yet?\u2019 \u2018I haven\u2019t.\u2019 \u2018He didn\u2019t say anything particularly new,\u2019 Fowler said. \u2018Bloke looks like he hasn\u2019t had a decent sleep in his whole life. You know why he texted?\u2019 Dahlia shook her head. \u2018I reckon I do. Before I swung past yours, I went for a little drive through town. Tried finding a coffee shop that was open \u2013 there wasn\u2019t a single one.<\/p>\n

So I went to a servo, spoke to the bloke working there. He reckons he had a bunch of fireys come through in the wee hours of the morning. Any guesses where they\u2019d been?\u2019 Dahlia was too muddled, bogged down with thinking about her confrontation with Marcus, what Scarlet had said about Callum. And Jude. Always Jude. \u2018No idea.\u2019 \u2018Hunter Rochford\u2019s factory, facility, whatever it\u2019s called \u2013 sounds like someone torched it.\u2019 Dahlia\u2019s thoughts instantly stilled. \u2018You might want to give your boss a call,\u2019 Fowler said. OceanofPDF.com Sneed answered quickly, sounding tired, distracted, but most of all pissed off.<\/p>\n

Dahlia put him on speaker. \u2018Head straight to Hunter Rochford\u2019s plastic treatment facility,\u2019 Sneed said. \u2018Word is the place has been reduced to rubble.\u2019 \u2018Thought that might be the case,\u2019 Fowler said. \u2018You already knew?\u2019 Sneed asked. \u2018Guy at the servo told me.\u2019 \u2018Shouldn\u2019t be surprised. Most of the town must know, there were explosions, at least a couple. They woke me up, and I\u2019m a heavy sleeper.\u2019 They didn\u2019t answer. He didn\u2019t seem to notice. \u2018Sounded bad from what I\u2019ve heard thus far, not that I\u2019ve heard much beyond preliminary reports.<\/p>\n

Never give up. OceanofPDF.com CHAPTER ONE Dahlia glanced up from her phone and realised she was about to veer off the road, straight into a field of fire. Visibility had been reduced to smudges among the smoke and the atmosphere had become sludge as the fires raced across Broughlet\u2019s outskirts. An insistent voice begged her to turn back. Forget the list of properties to check out. People had been told to evacuate a full day prior; if they wanted to stay and take on the colossal beast of fire careening towards them \u2013 that was their choice.<\/p>\n

Dahlia slowed the patrol car, setting her phone down on the vacant seat next to her, after one final, distrusting look at the screen. Neither Callum nor Xavier had responded to her texts. The panic spreading inside her as easily as the fires through the bushland outside wasn\u2019t so consuming she couldn\u2019t appreciate the irony of her situation. A cop texting while driving \u2013 in a cop car. Not that there was anyone around to report her.<\/p>\n

After her colleague, Mia, had turned off in the opposite direction with her own list of properties to check on, the only person Dahlia had encountered was Jasper Rochford. That exchange had been regrettable, but at least he was the only other person she\u2019d come across. Since then, since him, she hadn\u2019t seen another soul. The only property still left to check out belonged to Callum and his husband, Xavier Vinson \u2013 and their son, Jude. Her best friends and her godson. Who weren\u2019t responding to her texts.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
