EPILOGUE
A special task force had been formed to debrief everyone involved. By combining the confessions of some of the guards as well as those of Harold Armbruster and Nancy, Brad and Janie were able to piece together enough to figure out the key players in the sad drama. It took months to break up the drug ring as well as exonerate Chase but thankfully the case was almost ready to go to trial.
Poor Meg Armbruster had been kept in the dark throughout the entire operation and had taken her son home to work toward mutual healing. To everyone’s relief, the young man had not touched drugs since his best friend’s murder. At least something good had come out of all this, Janie mused.
Clad in a white wedding dress that Meg had insisted on gifting her, Janie stood in the rear of the small chapel just outside Jefferson City, gazed down the center aisle at her husband-to-be and smiled wistfully. Her heart was so full of love, so committed to this man, she could hardly contain the joy.
Beautiful music surrounded her. If Brad had not insisted they get to know each other better in a normal way, she would have married him that past fall. But he’d been adamant. And now it was time. Finally.
Her pink-clad maid of honor, a nurse from the hospital where she’d worked when Brad had first come into her life, handed Janie her bridal bouquet, then started down the aisle. The young woman carried two things. In one hand was a beribboned bunch of roses. In the other arm she bore a sparkling-clean little white dog with matching bows in her hair.
“I love you,” Janie mouthed to her waiting groom.
Grinning from ear to ear he returned a simple, “I love you, too.”
Janie blinked back tears of joy, reached out and took the arm of Chief Winterhaven, who was standing in for her absent father. As far as she was concerned, her new extended family was almost as perfect as Brad was.
A tear escaped behind her veil. So happy and blessed she was floating on air, she went forward to meet her future.
