| His eyes locked on the body bags then shifted to the letters found at the accident. What a story they would tell. The effect on Detective Dutch Vandenberg would be life changing. After reading them, Dutch knew he had to find KC Harmon. Why had she not written when he went to Vietnam? What he learned from KC's mother would shook his soul. KC was alone with her young child, abandoned by her meth addicted boyfriend, an old friend named Jack Dolan. Dutch held a small box of letters that Emma Harmon gave him. Letters Dutch had written but that KC had never wanted to read. So afraid he would be killed in Vietnam, KC couldn't bring herself to read them. He found her living in Avila Beach, a small coastal town south of San Luis Obispo, Calif. He found something else. KC showed him letters she had written him but never sent. Her girlfriend's boyfriend had been killed in Vietnam. KC couldn't bear losing Dutch too. Soon their lives began as one and just as soon, tragedy struck. Dutch was assigned to a Task Force aimed at bringing down the "Vato Locos", a Mexican Street gang whose meth operations was flooding the streets and the State Prison System. The operation went as expected but what was unexpected was the late night attack by gang members that nearly killed KC. Dutch loved being a cop but he could no longer keep her safe, teaching would be safer. For twenty years, theirs had been a near idyllic life with a love strengthened by reading those letters never read and never sent. Suddenly the memory of that late night ambush twenty years earlier resurfaced. An aneurism, the result of brain trauma from the assassin's bullet, put KC's life at risk. As always though, the letters strengthened their love that is until a slight trip on an early morning walk. While in his arms, the small clip used to hold the aneurism slipped and suddenly she was gone.
News of the shooting death of his old partner brought Dutch to Idaho. What did CJ discover that someone would want him dead? With his son-in-law, FBI Special Agent Joe Eagan, Dutch came face to face with the brutality of the Aryan Nation. The racial killings, fire bombings and brutal assaults sickened Dutch. But meeting the victims changed Dutch's life forever. Kay Morehead lost her husband and son, one because of his activism and the other because of his orientation. He met Kay's niece, Sandy Slaughter and her boyfriend Kemo Malafulu. He lay in a hospital bed beaten nearly to death. Kay was drawn to this stranger. He made her laugh, he made her feel safe. She longed to be loved again. Dutch sensed her pain. He wanted to protect her just like he did KC. It pained him. Dutch with his son Danny, an attorney, and his son-inn-law, would learned how far the tentacles of the Aryan Nation reached into law enforcement and politics in Idaho. The deeper they dug, the more dangerous it got, a thought not lost on Dutch. Protected by a corrupt sheriff and his followers, the Senator had to find a way to protect his dream, a dream of a White America. The arson's fire bomb ignited the evening sky as Dutch and Danny arrived at Kay's house. As he screamed and fell to his knees, his only thought was he had lost her; just as he lost KC. Would God do that to him twice? The wire taps that Judge Steinberg approved gave them all they needed. Could they take them down? Could Dutch see that Kay was not the next love of his life but his last love? |
