CHAPTER TEN

Katie ignored Jordan beeping in as she talked with her roommate on the phone.

“Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot to tell you on Mr. Young. He had no defensive wounds, so he trusted whoever he let in his house. And that person took him by surprise and shot him execution style. He was killed sitting in his chair,” Mariah told her.

“Yes, I knew that. Do you have a time of death?”

“You said the house was cold when you entered due to the open doors, and that messes up my timeline. As best I can determine, he died the day of the wreck, but I can’t be a hundred percent sure. The shooting at the diner happened at one-oh-four p.m. He was at the hospital for a good wait.”

“His neighbor saw him come home with his son. That was around five-thirty p.m.”

“As far as I can tell, he was killed shortly after that.”

“The killer was waiting for him,” she whispered. “But how did he get his information? How would the killer have known who it was?”

“Maybe he got the license plate and got someone to figure it out.”

“Or maybe when he raced off and lost the police chasing him, he circled back and watched everything.”

“And followed the man to the hospital.”

“And then home.”

“It could’ve happened that way.”

“Maybe.” Katie heard her phone beep again. “I’ve got to go. Thanks.”

“See ya.”

She glanced at the screen of her phone. Jordan. She’d missed him again. She smiled. It felt rather nice to have someone worry about her.

Then she frowned. She just wished he didn’t have a reason to. She’d call him back as soon as she got on the straight road. He could wait sixty seconds.

Katie turned off the main highway and took the road that would lead her to Erica’s home. Erica and Max had bought the property three months ago, shortly after they’d found Molly and brought her home. Max and Erica’s wedding was in a few weeks, and Katie couldn’t be happier for her friends.

Max had decided to give his house to his sister, Lydia, whom he’d bought it for, anyway. Katie knew he was anxious for the wedding so he could move into the new place and he, Erica and Molly could be a family at last. She started to dial Jordan’s number when she noticed the lights behind her.

Cort seemed to be following a little too close. She tapped her brakes. The road was getting slick, and he needed to back off a little.

Cars passed her on the left going in the opposite direction. Streetlights were sparse and the darkness pressed in on her. She shivered and sent up a prayer for safety.

Cort backed off for a few minutes, then he was right back on her tail. What was he doing? Was he trying to get her attention?

She cleared the screen of Jordan’s number and started to punch in Cort’s when the device rang. Jordan. “Hello.”

“Katie, Cort got cut off and lost you. Do you have anyone behind you?”

A frisson of fear shot up her spine.
