Chapter Twenty-Six

Elle crept along the back street behind Carl Erwin’s house at two in the morning.

Dressed all in black, she secured the hoodie she wore over her head and eased up close to the fence line.

No lights were on inside Carl’s house.

Her stomach turned when she recalled the words she’d read on his sex offender status.

Erwin had been the coach of a local little league team. He had been arrested when one of the boys he’d coached accused him of touching him inappropriately. Six more of the boys from the team eventually came forward, which had been the final nail in Erwin’s coffin.

Carl was later convicted of seven counts of lewd and lascivious behavior on children under the age of twelve years old.

Elle’s lip curled in contempt.

Reaching into her jacket pocket, she pulled a pack of wieners free and made a clucking sound with her tongue.

The German shepherd she’d seen earlier came crawling out from under the back porch, his ears erect, and a growling noise vibrating deep in his throat.

Elle tossed one of the wieners over the fence, relieved to see him run toward it.

He scarfed the meat down in under three seconds.

She tossed another one over, a little closer this time. He ate that one as well.

“Come on, boy,” she whispered, holding the next wiener through the wire of the fence.

The large dog hurried forward, his tail now wagging in excitement.

“You like that, don’t you?” Elle crooned, plucking another piece of the meat from the pack. She fed that one to him as well.

Glancing around her to be sure no one watched, she lifted the latch to the gate and tossed the food she held behind her.

The dog didn’t hesitate. He ran through the open gate in search of the treat he’d been offered.

Elle spent the next few minutes easing down the street and coaxing the shepherd to follow.

A cat sashayed across the grass of a neighboring yard, drawing the dog’s attention. And just like that, the German shepherd gave chase.

Jogging back to the fence, Elle slipped through the gate, pulling it closed behind her.

She made her way to the back porch, already in search of a light fixture there. There wasn’t one.

On the verge of knocking, Elle happened to glance down to find a rather large doggie door. A door big enough she could slip right through it with no problem.

She eased down to her knees, listening for sounds coming from inside the house, but was met with silence.

Wiping her sweaty palms on the front of her pants, she pushed the rubber flap inward and took in the laundry room in front of her.

No lights were on in the house, save for the soft glow of a nightlight in a hallway up ahead.

Elle lowered onto her stomach and crawled quietly inside.

The sounds of snoring reached her ears as she straightened to her feet and flattened herself against the laundry room wall. It felt as if her heart had taken up residence in her ears.

Pulling the gun free from her jacket pocket, Elle inched along the wall, releasing the safety as she went.
