Annja steeled herself. In a second, she'd toss the covers and confront the person. Get them to talk.

But then she heard a familiar voice.

“Annja?”

Annja opened her eyes.

Sheila stared back at her.

“We need to talk.”

Chapter 22

Annja sat up in bed with the covers wrapped around her. “Why couldn't you just tell me downstairs when we were eating?”

Sheila glanced around. “I never know who's listening. And it's better up here, anyway.

No one can see me talking to you.”

Annja frowned. Beams of sunlight cut through the drapes in front of the window, giving the room a much brighter look than Sheila's demeanor. “You're talking like someone doesn't want us to know what's going on here.”

“Someone doesn't,” Sheila said. “You're absolutely right.”

“And why not tell us this when Jenny was around?”

Sheila shrugged. “I don't know, really. I mean, how much do you trust your friend?”

“Jenny?” Annja grinned. “I trust her completely. We've known each other for years. We haven't been in constant contact, of course, but overall…” She stopped. “Look, there's nothing unsavory about Jenny no matter how weird she might seem. I'd stake my life on it.”

“You might have to,” Sheila said. “You don't have any idea what's going on here and that fact could get you killed.”

“So why don't you go ahead and tel me, then?” Annja stretched her legs. “I'm finding this whole adventure rather strange.”

“You can't trust the sheriff.”

“David? Why not? I mean, he wasn't going to be a close confidant or anything, but what reason do you have that we shouldn't trust him?”

“He hasn't been himself lately.”
