Chapter Fifteen

Andrew relaxed as he stood on the corner. He’d snuck around places before, hiding with a woman from a boss, a coworker, family, or ordinary people passing by. The excitement gave him a small rush, but he had zero fear of getting caught. He knew how to be alert and watch for prying eyes. He had this job in the bag, no question about it.

He watched Emily following Troy at a distance. While he believed she was a good person, he was still learning a lot about her. Until recently, he hadn’t considered she’d been involved in criminal activity. Her participation might not have been much, but the fact she had partaken in such actions would’ve probably set her on a path away from heaven. Add the recent events of dumping her friend’s dead body in a ditch, and it was no wonder her aura was a pinkish shade. But he wouldn’t give up on her. Emily’s heart and soul seemed to be in the right place. There had to be a way he could alter her course so she wouldn’t end up in purgatory or worse, hell.

A set of cars passed along the street. He glanced at the cell in his hand. The time on the screen showed 12:15. If he didn’t see them by 12:25, he’d know something had gone wrong. The thought of anything happening to them, especially Emily, soured his stomach. He wasn’t the type of person to break into a home, wave a gun, and make threats. But if it allowed him to free Emily and Troy, he’d do it. Besides, Emily and Troy were not the criminals in this situation. Carl and Nancy were the ones who needed to be behind bars.

The area was quiet except for a dog barking in the distance. The close-knit, deteriorating homes with small yards reminded him of several of his friends’ neighborhoods in Chicago. He scanned each house briefly, checking the windows for any nosy neighbors. Either most people were at work or they were hiding inside. Since he no longer saw Emily, he assumed she’d made it into Carl and Nancy’s home. Thankfully, the plan seemed to be going smoothly.

He twisted around to survey the street again. A block away, an older man with white hair and glasses finished rounding the corner. He wore a lightweight jacket and jeans. The small dog on a leash in front of him trotted at a steady pace toward Andrew.

Staying calm, Andrew glanced at the phone. A few minutes had passed. He looked up and peered down the street. Two cars were coming up the road. Aside from the dog walker heading his way, there were no signs of trouble.

Andrew quickly formulated a plan if the old man asked him any questions. Troy had given him a good idea what to say. As much as he could, he’d keep the attention on the dog so he’d seem more likable.

The little white dog paused to check out some bushes. Andrew seized the chance to scan the windows again.
