Sandbagged: A Theo Ramage Thriller (Book 2)

“Ramage, thank God it’s you,” Anna said. “Are you O.K.?”
“Fine, but there’s been some developments,” he said.
“Here to, but you first,” she said. “There’s nothing we can do tonight.”
“What happened?”
“You first.”
He sighed.
“You’re going to get angry,” Anna said. “Real angry, and I want to hear about you first.”
Ramage spilled everything as fast as he could, ending with the gunshot wound, the rental car, Shelly and the feds. The entire time Anna’s unspoken news ate at his stomach, sweat dripping down his back.
“Big Blue is… gone?” she said.
“Yup.”
“What are you going to do?”
“Help you bring the herd out to the back fifty when I get home.”
“About that,” she said.
The line went silent, Ramage’s breathing echoing in his ears, his nerves tap dancing on his eyelids.
“Santino is in the hospital. He’s going to be alright, but he’s banged up bad. Some minor internal injuries.”
“What the hell happened?”
“He tried to stop a sand theft and the thugs beat him up.”
White hot anger burned through Ramage, the pain in his back so intense he froze.
“Ramage come home,” Anna said.
“Did you get your blood donor card? Some folks are going to need blood.”
“Not funny. Get your ass back here.”
“I’m coming,” Ramage said. “Leave a light on for me.”
