Logan sat on the side of the bed and rubbed his face. He couldn’t sleep. Something was bothering him. Like the woman next door. You’re jonesing for her. He might as well sit outside for a while. He pulled on boxers and stopped by the kitchen for a beer. The air had cooled down some, and there wasn’t much humidity at all. He wandered around the deck outside, then sat on the top step. Shadows chased back and forth, as a light breeze played among the tree limbs.

He glanced towards Tina’s house, but it was dark. She hadn’t been out on her balcony once since he had told her he knew she had watched him. He realized he missed knowing she was there watching him. Other than the brief view of her when she came home from work each day, he hadn’t seen her in a week. He finished his beer and stood up to go inside. A scream pierced the night.

He dropped the beer can and ran across the deck and through the backyard. He jumped the fence in one bound. When he reached her back door, he found it ajar. Damn, he needed his gun. There was no time to go back and get it now. Logan crept into the kitchen then on into the hall. He stopped to get his bearings. The living room was too his left and the stairs to his right.

Another scream came from upstairs. He hit the stairs at a dead run. Someone raced down the stairs nearly knocking him back down. He made the split second decision not to pursue the intruder. Tina might be seriously hurt and need help. He raced up the stairs to her bedroom. She wasn’t in the bed or on the floor. He ran towards the bathroom and stopped just inside the doorway. The door was off the hinges and split near the doorknob where someone had hit it hard enough to break it.

Between the toilet and the bathtub, Tina sat curled up with a can of hairspray pointed at the door. When he stepped into the room, she raised it higher and pointed it.

“Easy, Tina. It’s okay now. It’s me, Logan.” He took another step into the room. She lowered the can, but not all the way.

“You’re all right. Calm down.” He managed to take the can from her shaking hands and set it on the counter.

Logan reached down and helped her stand up. As soon as she was up, she launched herself into his arms. She wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck squeezing the breath from him. He ran a soothing hand up and down her back telling her over and over again it was okay.

“Everything is going to be all right. You’re safe now.”

She continued holding onto him with her face against his neck crying.

Sirens from the approaching police cars could be heard in the distance.

“Ma’am, are you there? The police are outside your house now.
