Chapter Twenty-Six

Pulling up to Jennifer’s house the next day, Rebecca was still determined to find the girl. Having almost gotten killed by the Shroud wasn’t making her feel any kindlier toward Jennifer, but something about how she wasn’t there at the docks last night made Rebecca anxious to know where she was. Who knew, maybe Jennifer was the Shroud or something.

All Rebecca needed to know at this point was, oddly enough, that Jennifer was okay and would live to make her life a living hell tomorrow. Sure, she knew a part of her was crazy for caring even one bit about Jennifer after all she’d tried to do to Rebecca in the past, but she couldn’t help but worry for some reason.

Exiting her car, she closed the door quietly (in case Jennifer was listening, as she wanted to catch her by surprise and possibly get some answers, too), and slowly slunk up the steps to the home’s Spanish-style door. She rang the doorbell and settled her hips to the side as she waited.

One minute passed and then another. It was probably around the third that Rebecca was losing count of the seconds and starting to get suspicious. Turning around, she examined the street to see if anyone else was outside in their front yards and could possibly see her. It was pure daylight, after all. Not seeing anyone, she turned back around to the door and rang the bell one last time as she pulled two bobby pins out of her back pocket.

It didn’t take Rebecca long to pick the lock, and soon she was entering Jennifer’s home. Hoping to pretend that the door had already been unlocked if she were caught, Rebecca stuck the bobby pins back into her pocket and plastered a confused look on her face.

“Hello? Jennifer?” she called a note too quiet. “The door was already unlocked, and I’d been knocking for a while, so I thought I’d come inside. Is that okay?” She shut the door behind herself and locked it back. “Just locked it for you, Jen,” she said sarcastically.

Realizing Jennifer at least wasn’t in the front of the house, she went further inside and headed down the hall to the master bedroom. The bedroom door was wide open, and she could see the sunlight shining into the room.

“Jennifer,” Rebecca sing-songed as she peeked her head in. When she didn’t see Jennifer there either, she came further inside and began snooping around the bedroom. Wherever Jennifer was, it seemed like she left in quite a hurry.

Clothing was strewn all across the floor and a half-packed suitcase lay on her bed. Rebecca couldn’t be sure if Jennifer never got a chance to finish packing or just changed her mind on the second case after all. Since she couldn’t find the other case in the pack, she decided it may have been the latter.

“Hey, is anyone in here?” Walking into the bathroom, Rebecca glanced at herself in the mirror to make sure no shadows were creeping up behind her.
