“Okay, pack what you need and let’s get in and out quickly,” Seth said, his eyes riveted to the windshield, alert and watchful as they pulled into the condo’s parking lot.

“Got it.” Paige kept low in the truck’s cab, out of sight of any reporters that might be lurking about. He hoped that with news of Amy’s murder still making headlines, Paige’s attacker would also lie low for a while.

Seth parked and climbed out of the truck. He took a quick survey of the area while Paige waited inside. Everything looked clear. He peeked back through the window, giving her a thumbs-up. “All right. Let’s go.”

They headed up the stairs to the third floor. He stayed close to Paige, intent on keeping her safe and making this a quick trip.

Once inside the condo, Seth positioned himself in the entry, the best possible place to keep an eye on both Paige and any activity outside the front door.

This wasn’t an ideal scenario, having to contend with Paige as he tried to narrow down who her attacker was. But for the time being, at least, Paige was by his side instead of trying to track down leads to solve Trey’s case and getting herself into more trouble.

Seth looked at his watch—6:40 a.m.—as Paige bustled about the small condo, gathering personal items and packing her bags. He wanted to get out of there before morning traffic was in full gear. They had a full day of brainstorming ahead of them. “Ready?”

“I think I’ve got everything.” She slung her computer bag over her shoulder, and Seth grabbed her rolling suitcase.

“Do you really think my attacker would dare to come around here?” Paige asked as they started back down the stairs. “I mean, with all the press running around town, he’d be crazy to try anything now.”

She was looking for reassurance, and Seth didn’t blame her. He only wished things in life were that clear-cut. Logic only went so far when it came to murder. Even being in a gated community wasn’t much of a deterrent for someone with an agenda to kill.

“So, what do you think?” She nudged his elbow. “Maybe he’s scared and has gone into hiding?”

Her wishful thinking struck at his heart, and Seth responded with a quick glance and a wink. “Let’s not hang around and find out,” he said, playing it cool. He didn’t want to alarm her, even as every nerve ending stayed on high alert. People with an agenda stopped at nothing. And this guy was brazen; he didn’t scare easy. But if Paige’s attacker’s goal was to get to her, he’d better be prepared to contend with Seth first.

They stepped onto the ground floor from the stairs, and as they kept walking, Seth surveyed around them. No sign of anyone, at least that he could see. He strained his ears to listen.

Nothing. The place was empty. Silent.

Paige started talking, offering a long-winded update on her brother. Her favorite subject, and a difficult topic he planned to pick her brain about later.
