CHAPTER SIXTEEN

CHLOE WAS FED UP.

She hated the idea of sitting in her Honda all day watching the driveway. After all, there was another entrance. Just because Dayne came in through the front didn’t mean he’d leave 7. It was hot and stuffy, and the knife in her pocket kept her in the ribs.

With any luck, he’d be in and out. An hour or two at the most. had wanted to come along for the ride, but Chloe pulled before she could grab her shoes. That was the best part this Tuesday morning. At least she was alone.

started the day in her usual spot, on the hill overlooking Coast Highway. It wasn’t her favorite place to watch him, :en noticed too often lately. Once outside Ruby’s res-and once walking around that Kelly Parker’s house.

The police had almost figured things out the first time; at least Anna had told her. From the hillside, she could see everything she needed to see. binoculars worked well, and it was a straight shot down the to the place where she could tail Dayne.

“Anna?” Chloe looked on the floorboard beneath her feet and then she remembered.

Her sister sneered. “Don’t kid yourself, Chloe. You can’t get rid of me.” She jerked her thumb toward the studio entrance. “This is stupid, sitting out here.

Anger rose fast and certain, and her heart pounded with the immensity of it. She pointed at Anna. “Don’t say another word, you hear? Not another word!”

Anna rolled her eyes and made a zipperlike motion across her lips.
