CHAPTER FOURTEEN

“I heard through the grapevine that you had quite a day.”

“You could say that,” Lance muttered, having already gone through today’s events four times. Five, if he wanted to count his run-in with Byron Warner. That was a conversation Lance would rather forget, though he figured he had gotten his point across concerning Brynn. “How are you doing, Calvin?”

Noah had already gone into the city and bought two brand new security windows for the basement daylight slots. Only one of the old casements had its frame damaged, but the previous two were matching styles and neither had the capability of keeping out a teenage boy with a screwdriver, let alone a man with motive.

The new full-sized frames had a fine micro-lattice of Graphene wire between the double panes of glass, making it nearly impossible to enter the house through them even after the glass was broken out.

Noah ended up saving Lance the time needed to make such a trip while he handled the foot traffic through his house once again. He’d already researched the best local high-tech security companies around the area, pleased when he was also able to schedule an appointment to have the security system installed at the beginning of next week.

Lance had actually identified the basement windows as a likely avenue of approach for intruders when he filled out the security questionnaire. He indicated he wanted trembler units on each of the windows with a motion sensor mounted on a wall opposite them for those times when he was away from home. It provided a layered approach to the system and made defeating the network of devices much more difficult.

The system came with a predetermined amount of detecting units and features. However, he’d added numerous additional line items and a full complement of various types of wireless gadgets. His property would be under twenty-four-seven video surveillance once they had everything in place.

In the meantime, there wasn’t a chance in hell he was leaving his place unguarded.

Which was why he found himself in the town’s only hardware store on Main Street at nineteen hundred hours. The same musty combination of smells he remembered as a boy still hovered in the air, and the dust on some of the unsold items had grown by what seemed like inches over the years. The sight of lollipops in a container on the counter did bring a smile to his face, but he wouldn’t touch those suckers with a ten-foot pole. A few of those sugar globes had to be older than him.

“Fish weren’t biting worth a damn today,” Calvin complained, adjusting the cap covering his greying hair. He narrowed his gaze as he formulated the same question as everyone else had on their tongues thus far. “Do the police know who broke into your house again?”

“No, not yet. But you’re the first to say again, interestingly enough.” Lance gestured toward the electrical wiring he’d set on the counter, along with a long list of items he’d need in the coming days.
