“It’s true. Facing mortality makes you think differently about things…about life.” The skin of his neck stretched as he turned his head to gaze out a nearby window. A wistful look came to his eyes.
“How much time are we talking about?”
Jim chuckled. “Not much, but I’m sure it’s too much for you.”
“So…”
“It’s like I said on the phone. A few weeks, maybe a month at the most.”
“Cancer?” Sara asked softly. The news she could be rid of her father in less than a month didn’t produce the elation she had once dreamed about as a teenager. A world where her father didn’t exist…she’d already created it.
Jim nodded. “Prostate. Really aggressive, the docs say. Nothing they can do but make my life comfortable. But I can’t have that either.”
“If you cleaned up a little, maybe hire a maid or something.” Sara leaned forward, her elbows on the table. “You don’t have to live in filth. There are assisted-living facilities—”
He cut her off with an emphatic shake of his head. “That won’t work. I have to keep moving now.”
“Keep moving?”
“Or they’ll find me.”
“What?” Sara leaned back, startled. Had the cancer made her father go mad? “Who do you think is looking for you?”
“The men who are trying to kill me.”
