CHAPTER TWENTY

Simon glanced over his shoulder again for the tenth time in the past five minutes to see if Zoe had finished the phone call with Wendy. Still nothing. He waited a few more minutes. When she didn’t return to the main cabin, he pushed back from the table and, ignoring smirks and knowing glances from his teammates, walked toward the bedroom to find out what was keeping her.

While his teammates studied the satellite images of his family’s ranch and debated the best positioning of the hands, he walked into the room in time to hear Zoe tell Wendy to be careful.

Her voice and body language put him on alert. “Shift the call to speaker,” he murmured.

A second later, Wendy’s voice came through the speaker. “I don’t understand. Why should I be worried?”

Simon walked into the room and laid his hand on Zoe’s shoulder as she answered Wendy’s question.

“Taking precautions seems like a smart move. Have you noticed anyone hanging around the shop or your house the past few days?”

A soft gasp. “How did you know a man’s been watching me?”

Not good. “Wendy, it’s Simon. How long ago did you notice someone watching you?”

“The day before Macy was killed. I didn’t know I was on speaker, Zoe.” Her tone made clear her displeasure.

“You weren’t until a few seconds ago.” Simon sat beside Zoe. “What does this man look like?”

“Brown hair, maybe six feet. He looks strong.”

“Did you see distinguishing characteristics or the color of his eyes?”

“Are you crazy? I avoided him as much as I could.”

“Did you call the police and report him?”

“Chris told me to call him if anybody bothered or scared me. I’ve been trying to reach him for two days. Now, he’s missing.”

“Do you have vacation days available?”

“I’m scheduled to take a week off at the end of the month.”

“Ask Maeve if you can take them starting tomorrow. Do you have a place you can go that’s populated but not a location someone would automatically look for you?”

“You’re scaring me, Simon.”

“I’m trying to keep you alive. You could be a target, Wendy.”

“What should I do?”

“As soon as you finish work today, get in your car and drive to your destination. Don’t go home to pack. Do you have cash on you?”

“A little. I have debit and credit cards with me.”

“Don’t use them. As soon as you leave work, drive to PSI. I’ll have one of the instructors meet you with cash to tide you over. You can settle up with him when you return to town.”

“I’m going into hiding?” Wendy’s voice rose to a squeak. “But I didn’t do anything wrong.”

“If the man concludes that you know too much, you become a liability.”

“I’m afraid to go off by myself. What if the man who killed Macy and Isaac comes after me, too? I don’t have a gun or anything. How can I defend myself against a killer?”

“Go to PSI. I’ll make a few calls. When you leave Maeve’s salon, act as though you’re driving to PSI to find Chris.
