Midnight Rescue, Morning Fame

Synopsis

One night, on the highway shoulder, a pregnant woman crouched by the guardrail, clutching her belly and crying. Her water had broken, but her husband had dumped her there, hit the gas, and driven off to celebrate his ex's birthday. Leo Carter was a night delivery driver. His tire blew, and he had to pull over. When he looked up and saw the woman, he figured he couldn't leave her there. Soaking wet, he carried her to the hospital. Later, he learned the woman's father was Richard Winston. Yeah, that Richard Winston. One cough from him, and every rich man in the city would line up to hand him throat lozenges. 'Her scumbag husband is done for,' thought Leo.
