  3. John Sandford _ Extreme Prey

    Mount Pleasant was an older town, where no two houses, standing side by side, seemed to come out of the same architectural style, with nineteenth-century Victorians up against pastel-colored postwar ramblers. Most of the houses had traditional flower gardens with marigolds and zinnias, and some with head-high sunflowers.

    LEONARD WAS A THICK, dark-haired man, Lucas's height but heavier, both in the arms and the gut. He was wearing a plaid shirt, jeans, and yellow work boots. The scars around his pale, suspicious eyes and a withered nose made him into a brawler.

  5. John Sandford _ Extreme Prey

    I don't know. He was hit hard. Bleeding out his mouth, bright red blood, so he probably took a hit to his lung. He was alive when they took him into the operating room . . ."

    The aisles of the Varied Industries building had grown too coagulated, so Marlys led the girl around the building, the girl's legs churning to keep up.

  7. John Sandford _ Extreme Prey

    The gun locked open and he slammed another magazine in. As he did it, he either saw or imagined he saw a ripple moving through the cornfield and fired four more shots at it, then stopped, crouched, and stepped sideways across the nose of the truck, saw Robertson facedown in the driveway gravel. He was alive, pushing up with his hands, getting nowhere.

    And he still had those two big nuts in his pocket that he'd picked up from the Purdys' barn workshop, the one with the green-and-yellow overspray on the floor, a green-and-yellow spray that didn't match the hard green and yellow of the John Deere, but did match the green and yellow of fair fire hydrants . . . and those nuts in his pocket. Why would you need a whole bag of big nuts, but no bolts? You wouldn't-unless they were shrapnel. And that nagging intuition he'd had by the Varied Industries building: he'd been walking by fire hydrants all morning, the same yellow and green as the overspray on the Purdys' barn floor. A bomb. The Purdys had built a bomb. The farm kid who'd been brain-injured by IEDs in Iraq had built himself an IED.

  10. John Sandford _ Extreme Prey

    Marlys was a sturdy woman in her fifties, white curls clinging to her scalp like vanilla frosting. She wore rimless glasses, a homemade red-checked gingham dress, and low-topped Nikes. Short-nosed and pale, she had a small pink mouth that habitually pursed in thought, or disapproval.

    As Bowden worked the room, Jubek took Lucas around to all the other security people and told them to take a good look. "If this guy tells you something, you listen," he told them. He gave Lucas his cell phone number, and said, as Lucas was leaving, "I sincerely hope you're a self-aggrandizing bullshitter who's trying to get attention for himself, but I looked you up and I've got the bad feeling you're not." "'Self-aggrandizing.' Pretty big words for a former lineman," Lucas said. Jubek grinned and slapped him on the shoulder and said, "See ya.

  12. John Sandford _ Extreme Prey

    I understand. Does he have names?" "No. All he has is some basic descriptions. He said the candidate from the North saw you and a fellow he believed was related to you, and passed along the description. If he starts asking around among our people, he's going to find you. I won't ask if . . . you know . . . you're planning something. I'm already in enough trouble, lying about not knowing you." "I appreciate that," Marlys said."
