Spring Beneath the Grave

Elora Griffiths was on her way to drop her daughter off at school when her husband's enemies opened fire in the street.

The bodyguard her husband had personally assigned to protect them abandoned the car the instant the shots rang out.

Mother and daughter were hit multiple times, teetering on the brink of death.

Elora frantically called her husband, Rodger Griffiths, but he didn't answer.

Her brother, Hugh Dale, arrived just in time and saved them both.

"How could this happen? Didn't Rodger assign someone to protect you?" Hugh asked.

Elora sobbed uncontrollably, "The bodyguard ran away!"
