Ivan's reluctance to bring her here had as much to do with her mental health as her physical safety. Cat shifters took loyalty to their clowder very seriously. They would not have accepted Molly's defiance without retaliating, even if it was something as futile as getting rid of her belongings and all photographic evidence of her existence. The larger fear of what else they might do lingered at the back of his mind, pushing him to get moving.

“I found this in your sister's room.” He handed over the folded, wrinkled photo he'd found inside the white wicker nightstand next to the sister's bed.

Molly grasped it, and a smile lit up her face. “I have the same one. At least they let her keep something.”

He nodded, no point in sharing his thoughts with her. The photo wouldn't have been stuffed in the back of her nightstand drawer if she had her parents' blessing. Becca probably had a defiant streak just like her big sister.

She handed the photo back to him, and he turned to put it back where he'd found it. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Molly go into the kitchen. When he returned, she was seated at the kitchen table staring into space.

“We should get going, kitten.” The longer they stayed, the more uneasy Ivan became. The screaming in his gut had reached impossible-to-ignore levels. This whole setup reeked of wrongness. It had been too easy to slip into town unnoticed. Break into the home, search it, and still not see a soul. Ivan had learned to trust his instincts the hard way. The hair at the back of his neck prickled, a sure sign they needed to leave now.

A car door slammed outside. Molly's eyes widened at the sound, and she jumped out of the chair, knocking it to the floor. Shit, this was bad. Ivan had closed the door after they entered, but it would only take a second for someone to realize the lock had been breached. His eyes darted to the back door, and he pointed at it. Molly nodded and got behind him. Her soft hands clutched the back of his T-shirt, the warmth of her body soaked into him punctuating his need to protect her. He unlatched the door and opened it without a sound. They stepped out onto the overgrown grass. A wooded area stretched beyond the back of the house. Good escape route if they needed it, but for now he still wanted to get to his truck and get them the hell out of here. Voices drifted from the front of the house, but he couldn't make them out. A little girl's squeal.

“That's Becca!” Molly whispered in his ear.

He nodded silently. Closing his eyes, he opened up his other senses. Sniffing, he scented two males and two females at the front of the house. He listened hard for sounds of any more men. He hoped like hell they'd just go into the house. Ivan headed to the corner and stepped around.
