Night settled and the RV was quiet and . . . lonely. Trudy closed the laptop, putting aside the information she’d been studying about regional dialects and colloquialisms. She curled up on the sofa with Mouse and closed her eyes, listening to the occasional whistle of the wind. Being without Levi was tortuous. And she’d only been without him for one day!

The night before he’d left for Florida, he’d had a nightmare – a doozey that had startled her awake. Moaning and thrashing, he’d mumbled jumbled words . . . “gotta tell, leave me alone, stay away!”

Recalling Dr. McLain’s advice, she’d gotten out of bed and called to him several times before he shot up, his eyes wide and unfocused, his chest heaving with his panting breath. He hadn’t gone back to sleep. Instead, he’d taken a shower and then sat in the living room and listened to music through his earbuds as he stared out the windows.

He’d insisted that he was fine and that he’d gotten enough sleep. She hadn’t believed him. Not for an instant. When she’d tried to get him to come back to the bedroom, he’d snapped at her and had withdrawn deeper into his shell.

Her inability to connect psychically with the kidnapper or Rachel added to her feelings of melancholy and unrest. She had tried several times to reach out mentally and had gotten more convinced that she was losing her abilities. She’d even been tempted to call AmyLynn and quit. Taking money for sitting around and doing nothing wasn’t her style. If she didn’t make something happen soon, she’d –.

Something inside of her shifted, unsettling her. Mouse issued a low growl and the hair down her back roughed up. Trudy’s gaze darted to the window beside her. A shadow slithered along the edge and she heard a whisking noise as if someone had brushed along the side of the RV.

She bounded to her feet, automatically looking at the door to make sure it was bolted. Her heart clambered into her throat and she bounced a little on the balls of her feet to release the adrenalin that flooded her bloodstream. Mouse barked, making her jerk all over.

“Shhh,” she hissed, pointlessly as it only made the dog bark more. Hitting the wall switch, she killed the lights and lifted one of the mini-blind’s slats to peer outside.

The floodlight at the back of Tony’s Tune-up divided the
