Chapter 11

Morgan stared at Stella’s computer screen. If the brisk bidding continued, this year's fundraiser might raise the largest amount in the event’s twelve year history. She leaned back in the chair, inhaled slowly and tamped down the impulse to jump up and do the happy dance. Instead, she pressed the fingers to her lips to hide her grin as Stella scanned the list of items up for bid.

After they finished, the trio returned to the den, and Morgan's cell phone rang. She retrieved it out of her purse and checked caller ID. She shot a glance at Shawn who was sliding on his jacket. “It's the security company who monitors my house.”

His eyes took a suspicious expression. “Answer it.”

She put the phone up to her ear. “Hello?”

“Ms. Kennedy, this is Home Security Solutions. Your alarm has been tripped. Are you safe?”

“Yes, but I'm not at home.”

“The police have been notified and are on their way. Can you meet them there?”

“Hold please. Shawn, my house has been broken into. The police are coming, we need to go back.”

He shifted his holster and pistol into place under his jacket. “I'm not sure that's such a good idea. I suspect your stalker is trying to get you to surface.”

Morgan gave her friend a hug. “Absolutely.”

She counted three patrol cars stationed in the driveway and in front of her house when they arrived. A policeman standing guard regarded them cautiously as they stepped out of the SUV.

“Are you the homeowner?” The officer asked.

“Yes.” Morgan replied.

“Someone threw a rock through your arcadia door. The alarm has been turned off, and the house is clear.”

Shawn interjected. “Did any of the patrol cars report seeing an older Honda Accord in the area?”

The officer appraised Shawn with a no-nonsense expression which Morgan found intimidating, but Shawn appeared unfazed. He stared back at the policeman with a quiet focus which left no doubt he expected an answer.

“Why do you ask?” the cop asked.

“Ms. Kennedy has a stalker. We believe he drives a car of that make and model,” Shawn said.

The officer shifted his gaze from Shawn to Morgan. She tensed and braced herself for the upcoming questions. Instead, Shawn softly placed his hand on the small of her back. The simple gesture spoke volumes to her. You're not alone.

“Go around to the back and talk to Officer Williams,” the policeman instructed.

“Thank you.” Shawn reached over and gently placed his hand on her arm before they walked back to the driveway and to the patio. As they turned the
