Chapter 10

Savanah

I was a paranoid mess by morning, after a night of fitful sleep. Following the experience from yesterday, I had felt so insecure and frightened that I double- and triple-checked to make sure all the doors and windows were completely and firmly locked. I even had the sofa up against the front door, as an extra precaution. Then I buried myself under a mountain of blankets, hiding in my bedroom. The majority of the time, before I had fallen into sporadic sleep, I kept thinking about William, and sometimes about Dad and Marie and wondering if I should text or call them to tell them about the men who were following me. I wanted to ask Dad for advice as to what I should do in such a weird and frightening situation. Should I have called the police? Or was I being too paranoid?

Then again, Dad being Dad, he’d probably just brush everything off and tell me that it was just my imagination or that it was nothing of significance.

Now, I yawned and rubbed my eyes, wondering if I should just sleep in because it was a Sunday. And since it was broad daylight, those men weren’t likely to do anything stupid when people were around.

Nodding my head at that, I buried myself under the blankets again and dozed off into a wonderful, satisfied slumber.

When next I woke, a few hours later, I felt a whole lot better. After having some leftover pie for brunch and a cup of dark, very bitter coffee, which I didn’t much like, I got myself ready. Burying myself under a thick jacket, scarf, woolly hat, and even gloves, I headed out the door, determined to go into town and window shop today. Men in black stalking me, be damned!

I was just putting on my earphones, intending to listen to some music, which I’d decided to do to ease my paranoia, when I noticed an elderly man getting out of a sleek, black car that was parked just around the corner of the apartment complex.

Once outside, he inspected his surroundings with curiosity. Then he shifted his gaze to me, as if sensing me watching him. Suddenly, he did something that I didn’t expect—he gave me the most genuine smile I had ever seen. It was as if he was extremely happy to see me, which, oddly enough, affected me in a strange way. I felt drawn to him somehow, almost like a paternal sort of thing that pulled me to him.

Without hesitation, he started heading my way. I responded by halting in my tracks, my eyes examining his person with interest.

The man was tall, slim built, and had silvery-gray hair, dark brown eyes, and a straight nose. I didn’t miss the fact that he was wearing a very immaculate suit, either.

I waited tentatively, wondering what the man wanted. Unless, of course, he was lost and needed help with directions. This didn’t surprise me. After all, men who wore expensive suits, like him, just didn’t live around here, which was one of the poorest parts of the city.
