Chapter Ten

Alexandra waited with her mother, Lula, and Mrs. Connor as the clock struck half past five.

She and Lula sat on the couch reading. Mrs. Connor returned to the kitchen. Mama sat in her favorite chair by the fireplace with her knitting.

When the clock struck six, Mama put aside her knitting and stood. “Where could Byron and Ron be? They’re never late.”

Lula closed her book. “Do you suppose they had a late customer?”

Alexandra stood, prickles along her skin. “They would have insisted the person return tomorrow. Papa is strict about safety. Everyone leaves the bank at the same time.” Something was very wrong.

So as not to alarm her mother further, she said, “I’m going to walk the way they do and meet them. You can believe I’m going to tell Ron he owes me his dessert.”

When she opened the door, she found a note tied to the outside handle. Dread overcame her. Tentatively she reached for the dirty piece of paper. She jerked it free of the twine securing it.
