Chapter 64

Tory couldn't concentrate. Every time she closed her eyes she saw the faces of the dead. She was frightened to answer the phone, scared it would ring and be someone wanting to meet her to look at an apartment or other property, and feared that her next appointment meant finding another body.

Not to mention being shot at and run off the road. Someone was trying to tell her something, and she wished they would just send her a note or call her directly and tell her to get out of town if that was what the message was supposed to be. No more killings. No more bodies.

She decided to take the rest of the day off and visit with her mother and sister. The first thing she saw when she arrived at her mother's was the big wooden door with the etched oval glass. She relaxed right away. Her refuge was at hand.
