“My God, don’t these people ever pick up their little beast’s shit?” Sarah grumped, dragging her foot in the grass.

Once again, they were in the Clark’s backyard. Hoping, beyond reason, that Clark would be stupid enough to meet his neighbor in the pool house. Yes, Mandy would admit she was probably being a fool for thinking Clark would be so dumb. But she wasn’t ready to call it a night yet. Creeping around the Clark’s backyard beat lying in her bed, staring up at the ceiling and wondering why she was alone.

As she picked her way through the bushes next to the fence, she put up a silent prayer for things to go her way tonight. Lately, it seemed Lady Luck had abandoned her. Either that, or she’d lost her edge.

With Sarah at her heels, she dashed across the lawn, heading to the back of the lot. She found a cozy spot in the deepest shadows and hunkered down. Best to try to get comfortable, if that was at all possible. They could be waiting there for hours. And yet, she couldn’t get too comfortable, in case they needed to make a quick getaway.

“Maybe I should hide in the pool house with the camera?” Sarah whispered. “You can watch out here and if you see them coming, signal me.”

“Hmmmm. I guess that makes sense. Just do me a favor—don’t take any unnecessary risks. Please. I don’t want to have to bail you out of jail.”

Sarah’s eyes widened. Mandy could clearly see them, even in the semidarkness. “Why would we go to jail? Don’t we have the wife’s permission to be out here?”

“Yes, we do. But Clark doesn’t know that. And if she isn’t home and he calls the police, we could end up spending the night in jail, waiting for Mrs. Clark to back up our story.” Indeed, Mrs. Clark did give them permission to sneak onto her property, after Mandy had informed her about their last impromptu visit to the house. She’d taken some risk by giving Clark’s wife as much information as she had. If the woman wasn’t able to keep what she knew to herself and decided instead to confront her husband, the whole case could be blown apart. Clark might break it off with his neighbor, and she’d be back to square one. “And that’s if he calls the police. What if he decides instead to take matters into his own hands ... ?” Mandy let the sentence trail off, knowing Sarah would fill in the blanks. She had an active imagination.

“I see where you’re going with that. I’ll be careful.”

They exchanged a nod. Sarah ducked into the building. Mandy leaned against the wood exterior wall, facing the neighbor’s backyard.

Three hours later, Mandy’s thighs were on fire. She’d shifted positions at least a hundred times, but being half sitting, half squatting for so long had worked every muscle of her legs to fatigue. She needed to sit down.

Time to call it a night.

Her thighs trembling, and
