CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE

EARLY NEXT MORNING

BEDROOM

CAMELLIA’S TOWNHOUSE

CAMELLIA WAS AWAKENED BY THE SCREAMING SOUND OF HER BURGLAR ALARM. She rolled over and looked at the clock on the bedside table. 3:00 a.m. Grabbing a robe, she went down to the living room and keyed in the code to turn the alarm off. She could feel a breeze coming from the living room and went in to see why since she knew that shouldn’t be happening. The huge window facing the street was shattered with broken glass on the floor in front of it. A large rock had a piece of paper wrapped around it. She picked it up and smoothed it out. FINAL WARNING was printed with letters cut from magazines. Her alarm was sensitive to any disruption whether connected to a door or window.

She called the alarm company and told them she’d taken care of the problem. Then she found packing tape and an empty carton in a closet which she flattened out, inserted in the window, and taped it on all sides to keep the still oppressive heat out. She went back upstairs, picked up her phone and left a message for the management company to repair the window in the morning. She shuddered as the effect of the frequent onslaughts finally sank in. This is much more than just creepy now. I’ll definitely call the police when I get up.
