Chapter 4
"Come on." Nick moved to the driver's door, opened it, and waved her in. Jill immediately bounded into the vehicle, scampering over the driver's seat to the passenger side where she peered anxiously out the window. She wasn't made any less anxious to see that John Heathcliffe was no more than twenty feet away and moving fast.
She glanced back to Nick as he settled in the driver's seat and slammed his door closed, watched him start the engine, then turned back to the window again. John was running now and had cut the distance in half.
"Are the doors locked?" she asked nervously.
A click sounded as he shifted into gear and the doors automatically locked, then the SUV jerked forward. Jill scrabbled to keep her balance on the passenger seat as Nick accelerated, watching anxiously as John burst forward, shouting as he slammed his fists into the side of the vehicle. It's all he managed though, before they were tearing out of the parking lot, leaving him behind.
"Do up your seat belt," Nick ordered as he steered them up the road.
Jill turned to him with disbelief to see his gaze shooting between the road ahead and the rearview mirror, which showed the parking lot behind them.
"How exactly do you suggest I do that?" she asked dryly.
Nick glanced at her and frowned. "Can't you change back to yourself?"
"Certainly. If you'd like to drive through town with a naked woman in the front seat."
The smile that slowly curved his lips suggested it wasn't something he'd mind. Sighing, Jill dropped to her haunches on the passenger seat and raised one paw to the door to help balance herself.
Nick was silent for a moment, but now that they were safely away from John, his gaze was moving between the road and where she sat.
Moving uncomfortably under his inspection, she peered into the side mirror on her side of the vehicle, noting that the road behind them was empty. John wasn't following. Yet.
"I don't see him," she murmured.
"No." Nick glanced in the rearview mirror again. "Hopefully by the time he gets his own vehicle and tries to give chase, we'll be far enough away he can't find us."
Jill kept her gaze fixed on the side mirror until they turned a corner without seeing John's black van appear. She relaxed a little bit then and tried to think what she should do now. After a moment's thought, she glanced to Nick. "I need to call my brother."
"Of course. My cell phone is in the glove compartment."
When Jill peered at the glove compartment, but made no move to try to open it, Nick gave a short laugh.
"Sorry, I wasn't thinking. I'll get it for you," he murmured. Pulling to a stop at a red light, he leaned sideways, reaching past her to open the glove compartment and retrieve the phone in question. He started to hand it to her, then paused and shook his head. "I guess I better dial for you."
Jill smiled faintly, but forced herself to stop when she realized her tongue hung out of her mouth when she did.
