The shelter Vee works at is a small outfit deep in the country. All rolling hills and wheat fields. “You make this drive every day?” I ask her.

“Not every day. Just a few days a week. My uncle doesn’t want me too distracted from my studies and sometimes I think he just likes being out here by himself with the dogs.”

“Oh,” I mumble. “Was he like your dad?”

I know she told me her father was once homeless and Aspen and Fenn’s mom helped him out.

“Yeah,” she says, but I can tell she doesn’t want to say much. “He’s better now, though.”

I nod. I’m not one to pry, even though her family history intrigues me.

The driveway is gravel and about a mile long when we pull in. It’s quaint and doesn’t look like a shelter at all. “Wait,” I say, throwing my Jeep in park. “Is this where your uncle lives too?”

She opens her door and gets out. “Yeah. He keeps the dogs here.”

Oh. Okay. Well, that changes things.

“Why do you look like you’re about to be sick?”

I roll my eyes. “I’m not about to be sick. I just didn’t realize your uncle would be here. You just said he owned it.”

Her brows furrow as she looks at me, blinking several times. “Did you think he was never here?”

I wave her comment away and get out too. “I just thought he owned it. I didn’t know he’d be here and I’d like—” I’d have to meet him. “Never mind. It’s fine. Just took me off guard for a moment.” I reach into the back. “I’ll grab our stuff.”

Vee nods slowly. “Okay. I’ll let him know we’re here.”

I grab the bags and follow her up the front porch steps of an old farmhouse. She raps on the screen door, which I can see straight through.

“Uncle Mason!” She yells with no answer. She turns to me and tips her chin. “He’s probably around back. Come on.”

My heart beats erratically. “Don’t you think you should call him first before we just go around the back?”

Is this not how her horror movies start?

“Don’t be silly. He doesn’t mind.”

I find it hard to believe that a Marine doesn’t mind if his niece, or whatever she is to him, traipses through his house with a strange guy in tow. Yeah, cue the credits because this movie is going to be over before it begins.

Vee opens the screen door and motions for me to follow. “Did you text Brick the address?”

“Yeah. He’s on his way.” My focus is everywhere but on the conversation.

Vee’s uncle’s place is spacious and rustic, much like you’d think a cabin in the woods would be. But where you would think it would have deer heads hung on the wall, there’s black and white framed pictures with who I assume is her uncle and a blonde-haired woman. In most of the pictures, they have this German Shepherd dog with them that’s always staring up at the woman like, he too, loves her.

“That’s Killer,” Vee says, noticing me staring at the photos.
