Into the Light (The Light #1) Page 34

  Once a dirty cop, always a dirty cop.

  I knew that.

  What I didn’t know anymore was what kind I was.

  Taking a deep breath, I recalled the number I’d memorized and stored away. I steadied my hand as I fired up the other burner phone and dialed. Running my fingers through my hair, I listened to the rings.

  Special Agent Adler, my handler, answered on the fifth one. “Agent McAlister?”

  “Yes, sir,” I answered through gritted teeth.

  “Fuck! We haven’t heard from you in over two years. Tell me you’re calling because you’ve got the evidence. Tell me to get the bureau ready, that you’re ready for the raid. Tell me you’ve got what we need to bring Gabriel Clark down.”

  “Special Agent, we have a problem.”

  UNTIL . . .

  Away from the Dark

  Book Two of The Light series
