With a considerable amount of cash now in their possession, the smart money says that the two should leave town as soon as possible (before someone collects on them) and go some place where no one knows them. Some place where their violent past won't find them. Some place where they can get a fresh start. Kane, however, refuses to leave without confirming that Jaycee - his partner and best friend - is okay.

Unfortunately, Jaycee has completely disappeared. More importantly, trying to find him does little more than constantly expose Mika and Kane to those who view the two as nothing more than a colossal payday, and in no time at all they find themselves running low on resources and options.

Help, however, arrives in the form of a most surprising and unexpected ally. But even with the help of someone they think they can trust - and faith in their growing love - is there even the slimmest chance that Mika and Kane will survive?
