Chapter Eight

Hours later the sound of glass breaking brought Sable straight up in her chair. She’d been dozing but now she was wide awake. She listened carefully but she didn’t hear it again. She scanned the screens for any movement, but she didn’t see anything amiss. "Nick, wake up. We’ve got trouble."

Nick sat up from his spot on the sofa. "What’s wrong?"

"I don’t know but something is going on."

"What do you mean?" Nick joined her at the screens.

"I don’t see anyone anywhere."

"And that’s bad because?"

"I mean I don’t see anyone. Where are Curt and the other bodyguards?"

"Wait a minute…" Nick said. "What’s that?" He pointed to a shadow moving along the wall to the game room.

Sable stood up and grabbed her weapon. "Let’s search the entire house. We need to know what’s going on." She snapped off the light.

Nick grabbed his weapon following her. They opened the door quietly and waited for a moment. When they heard no sound, they advanced. Nick went to the right while Sable went to the left. They circled the island meeting at the door going outside. Sable glanced out the back door and found someone lying on the sidewalk leading to the garage. She glanced at Nick holding up a finger.

She took the time to push it open and check the outside. She found a guard lying on the steps. His crumpled body told her he was dead. She quickly ducked back inside the house. She locked the door and continued her search.

When she rounded the corner, she saw Nick coming out of the game room. When he shook his head, they both turned toward the master bedroom. Down a short hall was the door to Scott’s bedroom. Along the hall were two closed doors. Sable motioned to Nick and stepped toward the door on the right. Nick took the door on the left.

Without making a sound, Sable opened her door and stepped into the room. Panning the small area she didn’t see anything out of the ordinary. She was about to step over to the bathroom door when she heard a scuffling sound in the hall. She rushed to the door in time to see Nick wrestling with a shadowy figure. When Nick’s gun fired, the other man took off. Sable barely had time to glance at Nick before she took off after the other man. She went back down the hall to the living room. Carefully scanning the
