Merrick the Art Thief

With his hand over his eyes as he peered into the storefront, the man’s gaze locked onto Merrick.


In his mind, Merrick ran through his escape scenarios. If he turned and ran, he wouldn’t make it to the door before the agent either shot him or took him down. And if he really was in trouble, the agent before him wasn’t alone.


He’d always talked about not wanting to be arrested, but it’d never been a real threat, until this moment. And worst of all, Grant was going to witness his downfall.


Merrick’s heart pounded against his chest, but he didn’t have a choice. The agent knew he was there and there was no escaping this. Merrick took a deep breath and tightened his hold on Dedo as he prepared to face a Federal Agent.5
