CHAPTER SEVEN

About the time Zander and I finished up our snooping and converged on Zeb, he got a call. One he answered on the first ring. I figured it must be Jo Beth, but she had never put that look on his face.

“Leah,” he rumbled, his voice soft. “You okay?”

Three words. Three whole words. Whoever this Leah was, she had wrung more out of him than I ever had in one go.

Leah Zander mouthed at me, filing away the tidbit to no doubt torment his brother with later.

A snarl tore through the air before I got a chance to nip that bad idea in the bud.

Zeb jumped in his truck, tore out of the driveway, and hit the road with a whump of protesting metal.

Within seconds, Zander and I were stranded at the second crime scene without a ride.

“Care to fill in the little old lady without super hearing?”

“There’s been another attack.” Zander pulled out his phone. “That’s all I could make out between sobs.”

The strangeness of the call, paired with Zeb’s verboseness, made me wonder who this Leah was to him.

“Zack’s on the way.” Zander had made the call while I was woolgathering. “Zeb already texted him.”

“Good.” I wasn’t worried for us, we could protect ourselves, but I was concerned for Zeb. “How long?”

“Ten minutes.” Zander led me to the trailer, and we sat in lawn chairs on its covered porch. “Want to watch funny cat videos with me until he gets here?”

Cat reminded me of kitten, which got me thinking about Wally, but at least I got to rest my aching feet.
