The Brimstone Deception, Audio Book

The Brimstone Deception (2016) Lisa Shearin narrated by Johanna Parker (SPI Files)

I didn’t envy Kylie her job right now. Actually, I’d never envied Kylie’s job. I was a horrible liar and even worse at hiding how I felt when around people I didn’t like.

“Just know that if he ever hurts you—”

“Honey, you’re gonna have to get in line behind me.”

Looking out into the silent, too-poorly-lit-to-be-down-here-by-myself hole in the ground, I began to have second thoughts about my show of initiative, or as my Aunt Vicki, who was the police chief back home would have said, I’d “run off half-cocked.” As my adrenaline rush faded, realization started to set in, and it wasn’t pretty. A trained and experienced agent could do something like this. I was neither trained, nor experienced. I was a dumbass.

I was smart enough to know and accept that I could be trained by the best and still never qualify as a badass. My goal was simply to make it to work each day and home every night.
