Chapter 5

“Do you think one of us should go to the hospital to check on Kendrick?” Felicia and Angie were sitting in the kitchen at the center. Breakfast had been cooked and eaten. Dishes were washed and put away. The rest of the crew was in the garden or had started painting the outside of the house.

Angie shook her head. “No. It would look weird. Maybe we can take him flowers tomorrow. We have stuff to do here and only two more days to get it done.”

“I can’t believe how fast he got sick. Nancy said he was talking about his family and all of a sudden, it was like he’d had a seizure. I’m glad I wasn’t in the room with him. I would have freaked out. Nancy was calm and collected. She stabilized Kendrick, called for Ian, and kept her cool during the whole thing.” Felicia leaned back in her chair. “Okay, Angie, what’s going on? You’re too quiet and not feeding into or feeling my whole conspiracy theory.”

“You haven’t laid out a theory yet.” Angie stood and got the pot to refill Felicia’s coffee. “But I have to admit, he seemed fine yesterday. Can I tell you something else weird?”

“Of course.” Felicia pulled in closer. “What do you know?”

“I don’t know anything. I found Dom out in the hallway last night after everyone went to bed. You’re going to think this is strange, but Dom appeared to be guarding Randy’s room. And this morning, Randy’s not sick like he says he’s been, but Kendrick is. What if someone was going to give something to Randy, but Dom wouldn’t let them?”

“That’s probably pushing the limit for believability.” Felicia looked around the kitchen. “Hey, where is Dom? Did someone take him out?”

Angie stood and motioned Felicia to follow. When they reached Randy’s room, they saw Dom lying by the man’s chair. Randy’s hand was on Dom’s fur and he seemed to be reading aloud to the dog.

Felicia started to say something, but Angie shook her head and pointed back to the kitchen. When they sat back down, she picked up her coffee cup. “The only times I’ve seen Dom act like that is when Ian’s told him I was in danger and he had to watch out for me. I swear, Dom knows something bad has been happening to Randy and doesn’t want it to happen again.”

Felicia shrugged. “You could be right. Anyway, have you found Randy’s son yet?”

Angie shook her head. “We have some calls out, but so far, nothing.”

“Let me do some checking. I’ll be right back with my laptop.” Felicia stood and started to walk out toward the hallway.

“Bring my notebook too,” Angie called after her. She studied the meal plan for the day. She needed to get some work done on the pantry as well. She wanted everything here to be as safe as possible. Even though she still didn’t think Carol was doing this on purpose, she didn’t want to take any chances.

As if she’d been pulled from Angie’s nightmare, Carol appeared in the doorway.
