This was Jake’s second run around the lake, and his aching body whispered, Quit while you’re ahead, kid, you’re pushing it. He was about to ignore the whispers, when his cell phone rang. Impatiently he put it on speakerphone. The words that came next decided the question for him. “This is Agent Nick. Don’t go back to the cabin. Just get the hell out of Birchwood Lakes.” Jake nervously jerked his head towards the phone and shouted, “Are you for real?” Then he shouted even louder, “You told me I would be safe here in the Poconos. You were supposed to protect me!” “That’s what our witness protection program is all about, Jake, to protect people like you,” Agent Nick replied. “Start running toward the Dingmans Bridge. Our helicopter will pick you up.”
