But I was forgetting a chore that Bentley had specifically assigned to me. He’d wanted me to find that wooden box and keep it safe for him. I wanted to be able to tell him the job had been done when I saw him next, so I headed over that way. I figured the sheriffs had probably already done a preliminary search of the house. But would they find something hidden in the refrigerator? Who knew.

The lucky thing was, I not only knew how to navigate the maze that led to his front door, I knew where he hid the key to that front door. I tied Toto outside and I was inside in no time. And that was when I noticed someone else had beat me to it.

The trespasser was making enough noise to have missed the sound of my entry, pulling open drawers and slamming them shut again. I slipped behind a partition and waited, peeking out but not seeing anything, then pulling back and holding my breath when he came into the reception area where I was hiding. I knew it was a man, as he kept muttering to himself in a very annoyed voice. He started rifling through the receptionist’s desk, yanking drawers open and pulling out papers. I wanted to peek around the partition again so I could see if I could identify him, but I was already having a hard time keeping my breathing calm and I was afraid he would see me. My heart was like a jack-hammer in my chest. This was one of those times when I regretted all those missed martial arts practices I was supposed to attend and didn’t.

He was moving across the floor, coming my way. Obviously, he meant to search the file cabinets behind me. I looked around quickly, trying to figure out someplace I could hide. I slipped between the file cabinets and slid down so that he would have to be standing over me to see me. Then I tried to hold back my raw, painful breathing.

His steps came closer. He was right at the edge of the partition. I could see his hand on the frame of the wall. I held my breath.

And Toto barked.

He froze.

Toto barked again. He sounded very close—and he was. The man swore softly and turned away. I could hear him heading for the back door. Gathering my shaking wits about me, I rose and followed him, determined to see who he was. I heard the back door slam and I knew he was out running across the grass chessboard. I made it to the back door and looked out. I could just see him disappearing into the trees. I could have sworn I knew him. At least from this distance, it looked very much like Joe from the garage.

By now I was breathing normally again. Joe from the garage. I’d been imagining someone a lot scarier than that. Still, even a young wiry guy like Joe could be plenty dangerous when trapped in a vacant house.
