Zero at the Bone is a story that took me places I didn’t expect. D is determined to get Jack to the witness stand alive and a beautiful and unlikely romance develops between these two. Together they start hiding out – but there are many twists to come in this story. Why D, when they know he only takes certain contracts? D decides to make a run for it with Jack in tow. If the brothers wanted Jack dead, they could have hired any hit man. D analyzes the situation and thinks there is more involved than just killing Jack. Jack’s emotions go from shock, to begging for his life, to seeing a slim hope that maybe D is not actually going to kill him. D tracks him down, and even points the gun between Jack’s eyes, but he can’t find it in himself to pull the trigger. The mob brothers have caught up with him and blackmails D into finding and killing Jack. He is good at hiding, becoming a shadow – or so he thought. He always declines to kill those that look innocent on paper. He accepts contracts to kill those who are more on the evil side, more with a reason to die. He is empty – just living day after day without much emotion or purpose. He is basically a shell of a human being. The mob brothers are a very dangerous group, and the state is desperate for his testimony.ĭ, and that is the only name he goes by, is a hit man. He gives up his job, years and years of school down the drain and is told to hideout until the trial date set in a few months. Jack is thrown into the witness protection program, and is relocated. These three people happen to be drug mobsters, and the woman, a very important key witness to an upcoming trial. When he gets to the garage, he witnesses a woman being stabbed by three people. Jack Francisco stops to eat a cookie before heading to the parking garage to get to his car, and his life will change forever. “I’ll find you,” he said, low and implacable.ĭr. D cupped his cheek and lifted his head to meet his eyes.
