His two young girls were playing outside, looking up when the two cars pulled into the driveway.

“Daddy! Someone rich is here!” yelled the oldest one when Randy opened the door to the limo. They were both blonde and very adorable.

“Ready, Uncle Mark?” I whispered.

He just grinned and we all got out of the car. I walked over to the girls and smiled. “I bet I know your names.”

“Betcha don’t!” the younger one said, with her hands on her hips.

I pointed to the older one. “You’re Rachel and you’re six.”

“Hey, how did you know that?”

“And, you,” I said as I pointed to the younger one. “Are Bethany and you’re four.”

“Mommy said to never talk to strangers,” Rachel said.

“But we’re not strangers. I talk to you all the time on the phone. I’m your Aunt Amy.”

“No! She’s old and gray!” Bethany said. “You can’t be her.”

“But I am. I promise.”

John walked out of the house, followed by his wife, Annemarie. “Amy! Randy!”

John said. “It’s so good to see you!”

“You are Aunt Amy!” Bethany exclaimed. She ran to me and gave me a huge hug. I scooped the child into my arms, hugging her back.

We all hugged each other and Randy introduced Brandy to them.

“And this must be Mark,” John said. He shook his hand, glancing over at the limo. “You guys travel in style.”

“Wealthy employer and they got married this morning,” Randy murmured. “They’re also being chased.” He always was a tattletale.

I saw John’s face suddenly turn red. “What? You just met the other day! Amy, what’s going on?”

“It’s a long story,” Mark said. “Needless to say, she’s being protected from the person who killed Jack Niles.”

“Uncle Jack?” Randy asked. “Why would someone kill him?”

“He was killed in my apartment,” I said. “I don’t even know him and he was dead when I was robbed.”

“You didn’t tell me this on the phone,” John said, crossing his arms. “I want to know exactly what’s going on.”

Annemarie lowered her voice. “Why don’t we go inside and talk. The neighbors don’t need to hear any of this.”

John glanced at his wife, then at Randy and me. “Right. We’ll go inside and talk.” He looked at his two daughters. “Bethany, Rachel, go inside to play.”

“Yes, Daddy,” Bethany said. The two adorable girls ran inside the house and ran up the stairs.

We all entered their home and sat in the cozy living room that looked like a cabin with bare wood on the walls and floor. Annemarie brought us all soft drinks and I sat my glass on the coffee table. All my head needed was a soda on top of the champagne.

“I want to know what’s going on,” John said. “Start at the beginning, Amy, because this is your story, not ours.”

“Well, since you two have never been robbed, let’s go back a few years. First, after you guys sent me to France, I was robbed at my apartment in North Carolina. I moved to Gainesville, where I was robbed again. After that, I moved to Devon, as you both know, and now have been robbed a third time.
