After the many challenges of the day, I should have been wiped out, but despite the long, hot shower, a huge shrimp po’boy, and way too many of Ally’s cookies, I kept tossing and turning, only managing to sleep in short bursts filled with restless dreams. Every time I woke up, I was more tired than when I’d gone to sleep. Finally, I threw the covers off and headed downstairs for my own bottle of Sinful Ladies cough syrup. If anything was going to get me over the hump, that would do it. And maybe one more cookie. Okay, two.

I stuffed my nine in my shorts and grabbed my cell phone, giving the security cameras at Ally’s place a check as I headed downstairs. No movement anywhere, which was good as it was 1:00 a.m. and well past when people should be strolling around downtown. And I hadn’t really expected to see anything but mostly wanted to ensure that there were no problems with the system itself. Not that I expected any with Mannie acquiring the equipment and doing the install, but he didn’t wire the electricity or internet for the building. Problems could crop up in either of those areas.

I was just lowering my arm when movement caught my eye. I clicked on the camera behind the building to expand and then zeroed in on the back door. I wasn’t imagining it. Someone had just crept up to the door and was holding something in his hand. Maybe a knife or screwdriver.
