Witness Protection
Safe at Last
by
Janet McCoy
When suburban family man Robert is told his office is being investigated by the FBI after someone used a company computer to search pornographic websites on the dark web, at first, he isn’t worried. A loving husband and the father of two teen boys, he knows he certainly isn’t the culprit. But when he checks his work computer at home, he’s shocked to discover that someone in his house has been downloading the offensive material. He is even more shocked to learn that it’s his wife, a lawyer. Even though she was only doing research for a client, the family is soon caught up in a dangerous sting operation. When imposters come to their door posing as the FBI, Robert, his wife, and the kids make a run for it, narrowly escaping with their lives. Embarking on a harrowing journey, they don’t know whom to trust when they are placed in witness protection and sent to another state. They must wait until Robert’s wife can testify against the criminals responsible, and they are never sure who might be lurking around the corner. As they try to start a new life amidst fear and uncertainty, will the family unit grow stronger or fall apart? Who can they count on? Can they truly live with their new identities and leave behind everything and everyone they knew? Part thriller, part drama, this story shows the resilience of a typical American family who doesn’t know how strong they are until they’re pushed to the edge.
