Storm Runners
“The tree was thick with young fruit and brown-tipped leaves and it protected Lejas as it might a raccoon or a hawk. Through his binoculars Lejas saw the PI in the yellow truck shake hands with two uniformed rent-a-cops in a Birch Security Solutions cruiser—a red-haired man and a blond woman—both young and armed.
Lejas had driven down from Riverside in the dark. When he rolled into Fallbrook the sun was just rising and now, two hours later, the Friday morning was still cool and the sky that odd ...shade of white that meant rain coming in from the Pacific. He’d easily found a good place to hide his car and climb into a good, tall tree.

She shook hands with the uniforms and was taller than both of them.MoreLess
