Chapter 16

Within a few minutes, I had whipped into the coffee shop parking lot and found a spot. I didn’t see his car, so I decided to go on inside and wait. The fresh coffee aroma hit me as soon as I stepped in. The display case of muffins and pastries had a limited selection at this hour, but I knew I’d find something delicious. Now Jake was the late one. I would order his favorite, but sometimes he liked to surprise me. I never knew when he would be spontaneous and change, so instead I just ordered my iced coffee and a muffin. It would still be a while until lunch. And in case I missed lunch, I knew I couldn’t hold off until dinner. Plus, I needed my energy to be at my private eye prime.

While I waited for Jake and the order, I took a seat at a table by the front windows. This spot allowed me to watch out and see everyone driving by. Jake said he was only five minutes away, so he should be here at any moment. The barista called out my name and I hurried over to collect my coffee and muffin. Still no sign of Jake, so I took my seat by the front window again.

Maybe my eyes were deceiving me, but I thought for sure I saw that woman—the one from the office building. No, it couldn’t be her, right? She was standing across the parking lot by another building. I wanted to confront her, but then again, I was kind of scared of her. She just seemed a bit weird. This could be dangerous. Despite my apprehension, I stood from the table and headed out of the coffee shop into the parking lot. Too bad Jake wasn’t here already so I could point her out. Now it was up to me to find out why she had followed me.

As soon as she saw me headed her way she took off around the corner of the other building. It couldn’t be a coincidence that she ran away. This could be the woman who had texted me and the one who had attacked me.

I took off across the parking lot after her. When I reached the side of the building, I stopped just in case she was waiting right there for me. But when I peeked around the side, she was nowhere in sight. I stood there looking all around for any sign of her, but obviously she had gotten away. Now more than ever I had to know who this person was, and something told me I would see her again soon. Whether I wanted to or not. Not only did I need to find her identity, but I had to find out what the photos meant and why they had been in that empty office space.

My phone alerted me to a text message.

Where are you?

Apparently, Jake was looking for me in the coffee shop.

As I headed away from the building, I peeked over my shoulder a few times to see if the woman had returned.
