Faithless: A Jane Doe Thriller Audiobook

Raul was told to wait outside, and I walked in alone. Even after I’d eliminated his nephew in the desert, Kersey had managed to move past it. But now, he looked ready to feed me to a monitor lizard…

I made Raul park in the remote lot next to me to avoid the gray-suits. We hoofed it to my place so I could change clothes. I left the bedroom door partway open…

The Grove on Fairfax was overrun with customers eager to spend money on clothes, makeup, and overpriced food. Me, all I wanted was an effing dress…

At the apartment, my first order of business was to set up the laptop so I could start my research. I knew guns, not computers. Raul offered to help…

Though I didn’t ask him to, Raul stayed with me and left early the next morning. I remained in bed, wondering how our night of passion had happened. One minute, we were partners doing our job. And the next…

Griselda Müller’s house sat atop a hill in Bel Air, overlooking the twinkling lights of the city. At the gate, I found a cluster of men in European suits and pointy shoes, talking and smoking…

When I came to, I was lying near naked in my tub. Panicked, I imagined drowning in black water and sat up straight. How long was I out? Raul was next to me on his knees, his shirt sleeves rolled up and holding a towel…

It was early when I woke up. I decided to skip the workout and took a shower instead. After getting dressed, I headed to the kitchen, where I found Raul cooking in pants and a wifebeater…

It took us forty-five minutes to reach the sleepy suburb of Simi Valley. We exited on Tapo Canyon Road and made our way to Wisdom Court…

I glared at Packard, convinced I’d heard it wrong. “I prepared for the mission,” I said, getting to my feet. “I’m a Marine. I completed MOS training. I’m—”…

The situation looked hopeless. There were at least fifty gray-suits with their weapons aimed at the house. Zeddemore used his command voice. “Harry Packard. We know you have the hyper. Send her out, and we’ll call it a day.”…

Removing the microchip had paid off. We weren’t followed as we returned to The Borgia. Safely inside my apartment, I changed into street clothes…

We arranged to meet Kersey far away from his office. Raul suggested Phillipe’s on North Alameda, near Union Station. From what I’d heard, the place was legendary…

Something was wrong. Approaching the café, I saw a group of Latino farmworkers gathered in front. Some peered through the windows. Another banged on the door…

In the black of night, I took a dirt backroad into the forest. John’s place was in Wofford Heights. The house stood among the trees where the road ended…

It was dark when I pulled into the Gas-N-Gut in Los Banos. On high alert, I kept an eye on everyone who came and went…

For a long time, the girl stared out her window at the bleakness of January. We were on the 5 heading north, and I was bored af. Could’ve used some company…

We reached Redding after two. Though I was hungry, I needed sleep more. I drove through town, looking for an out-of-the-way motel. On a back street far from the main drag, I stumbled onto a quaint little place called Owlie’s Lodge…

I’d passed Tres Marias on the way to Redding the previous night. Traveling south, I got off the 5 and followed a road leading downtown…

Stella sat on her bed, reading. When I walked in, she smiled with embarrassment. “I hope you don’t mind,” she said. “I feel like I never get to read anymore.”…

Dave had gone out, leaving Warnick to babysit. When he returned, he had a laptop. Another Black Dragon employee followed him, carrying plastic bags of takeout…

On the return trip, Stella was moody. She marched into our room and began stuffing her few belongings into her backpack…

In the morning, I packed my bags and waited for Warnick to show. I’d done what I came to do—warn Dave about the gray-suits. It was up to him and his friends to protect the Russian girl and her unborn child…

He was maybe thirty, with short blond hair. Pudgy and way shorter than me. Though he tried projecting confidence, anyone could see the fear in his eyes…

I used the backroads all the way to Redding to make sure no hostiles could follow me. When I entered the motel room, Stella wasn’t there…
