Chapter 10

Frankie sat on the edge of the sofa listening intently as George filled Trey and Will in on Carson Fellows. Johanna sat next to her watching her closely. As she listened to George retelling the murderer's history, her nerves jangled. Right now Frankie appeared to be calm…too calm. She knew Frankie was hatching a plan of her own to catch Fellows and that was what terrified her.

Trey Daniels, thirty-five, sandy haired and with model good looks glanced at Frankie and shook his head. His biceps rippled beneath the hunter green jersey he wore as he set his beer on a coaster. “This is unbelievable!”

“We're putting the addition on hold for right now,” Frankie said. “I called the contractor and told him we needed a couple extra weeks before they could begin work. I hope this doesn't put a crimp in our plans. It would really piss me off if the addition has to be delayed.” She crossed her long legs. “I suppose he'll understand why we had to delay once Fellows is caught and this hits the news.”

Trey absentmindedly ran a hand over his khaki dress slacks. “I've worked with him before. He's a decent guy. Don't worry, Frankie, you'll get your addition.”

“I hope so.” She smiled weakly. “You and Will still have access to the property, but you'll have to put on hold any projects that involve your crew, too.”

Will's eyes narrowed. “Frankie, stop worrying about all of this. We understand. Everything will get completed just the way you want. There's no hurry.”

“I know. I'm just impatient.”

“That's an understatement,” Johanna said with a laugh. “How are you handling the media, George?” she asked. “Do they know Fellows is in Charlestown?”

George ran his thumb over the handle of his coffee cup. “No. We're giving them as little information as possible. I don't know how long we'll be able to hold them at bay, though, until some reporter snoops around and figures it out.”

“Will and I certainly won't leak anything,” Trey assured the sheriff.

“I trust you two,” George quickly replied. “But some of those reporters can be ruthless and it's easy to unintentionally let something slip.”

“They can be useful, but there are times they can ruin a case.” Frankie's face soured.

“We certainly won't tell a soul anything going on.” He looked at Frankie. “You know we'd never do anything to jeopardize your or Johanna's safety.”

Johanna smiled warmly. “We know that, Trey.”

Trey's partner, Will Benjamin, had been listening to the conversation as he sipped at his beer. At thirty years old he was cute with a boyish smile. He was dressed in dark brown dress slacks and a button down, short-sleeved tan shirt. “Trey and I can check in during the day while you're at the office to make sure everything is okay,” he stated. “And you know if you ever need us at night we're just a phone call away.”

“Since the girls have the security gate, I think the fewer people in or out is better for now.” George rubbed his chin.
