A Dangerous Game

Wren moved to the window and saw the two men getting into a late-model, dark blue sedan. He waited until they drove away and then said, “I wish you would have talked to them.”


Wren was flabbergasted. “You’re just going to, what? Show up at her house? How will you even know where she lives?”


Rufus’s words sent a shiver through him.


“Evan used to take me by their house. He was a bit of a stalker, that Evan. That’s probably how she found out about him. I don’t know how she found out about the rest. But we’d drive by late at night. Sometimes we’d even see the happy family inside, watching TV.” Rufus started toward the bedroom. “I’m gonna take a shower, then head up to Kenilworth.”


“Yes. I went along with you about not talking to the cops. I am notgoing to let you take this risk alone.”
