Excerpt
FROM CHAPTER 2
FROM CHAPTER 2
The St. Petersburg Fire Department truck arrived first, followed by Sunstar Paramedics EMTs, who specialized in Advanced Life Support first-responder procedures.
After the SPFD paramedics stabilized Nicole, they consulted with the Sunstar paramedics to ensure that everything possible had been done for the best care of Nicole.
The tallest SPFD paramedic spied a very pale Jacob and raised an eyebrow. He stepped over.
“Son, are you feeling okay?”
Jacob held Suzy in his arms, staring at the spot in the street where Nicole had lain. He didn’t respond.
The paramedic continued, “Did you see the accident?”
Jacob dipped his head the tiniest bit and opened his mouth for a long moment, then closed it again. Suzy licked his chin. Jacob turned to stare at Savannah.
“Do you know this boy?” the paramedic said to Savannah.
She turned. “He’s my apprentice. His name is Jacob, he’s autistic, and he’s holding his service beagle, Suzy. He witnessed the accident. I’ve just left a message for his mother. She’s a judge. They’re interrupting the trial to inform her of this incident. Is he okay?”
“He’s pale, but not sweating. His breathing is good.” He reached out to touch Jacob’s forehead, but Jacob backed up a step and Suzy’s ears perked up.
Savannah turned to the man. “He never wants anyone to touch him. Suzy will give out a warning yip if he needs his inhaler for an anxiety attack.”
The paramedic shrugged. “I’ll get him a shock blanket anyway. It won’t hurt.” He pulled one out of his black bag, unfolded it, then draped it around Jacob’s shoulders without touching him. Jacob exhaled a deep breath and Suzy’s ears relaxed.
Savannah phoned Edward. He should be here. Didn’t he hear Suzy? The call went straight to voice mail. “Edward, come out front right away. Nicole’s been hit by a car. I need you.” Her stomach churned, her breathing quickened, and she felt her chest tighten.
This could be fatal.

A fatal hit-and-run in front of Savannah Webb’s glass shop proves to be no accident.
A highlight of Savannah’s new glass bead workshop is a technique called flame-working, which requires the careful wielding of acetylene torches. Understandably, safety is a top priority. But as Savannah is ensuring her students’ safety inside, a hit-and-run driver strikes down a pedestrian outside her shop.
The victim is Nicole Borawski, the bartender/manager at the Queen’s Head Pub, owned by Savannah’s boyfriend Edward. It quickly becomes clear that this was no random act of vehicular manslaughter. Now the glass shop owner is all fired up to get a bead on the driver — before someone else meets a dead end.
