“Vanna, wake up,” Montana said as she shook the bed.

“Go away,” Savannah responded. She pulled the covers over her head and held it tight.

Montana sat on the bed. “We didn’t say anything to you last night, but we know something happened between you and Troy. If he hurt you in any way, just say the word.”

Savannah reluctantly pulled the covers down. “It’s not him, it’s me. I thought . . .” She threw the covers down. “Never mind. All’s well.”

“I’ll say this, and then I’ll go and let you get dressed. I think Troy cares about you. I think you care about him, but until you two are able to communicate this to one another, just chill. Find Dad’s killer and then let things progress normally.”

“When did you get so wise?”

“I learned from my older sister.”

Savannah remained in bed a few more minutes. Her sisters had no idea of her history with Troy. She felt guilty keeping the information from them. How could she explain her feelings for Troy, when she didn’t quite understand them herself? She dragged herself out of the bed and took a long shower. Feeling rejuvenated, Savannah met her sisters downstairs.

Less than an hour later, Montana pulled her SUV in front of Troy’s house. He greeted them at the door. Troy spoke and acted like nothing had happened last night, so Savannah pretended the same. Minutes later they paired up and went separate ways. Savannah and Montana worked together on coming up with their new identities in one room, while Troy and Asia worked on gathering information about the men on the list provided by Major in another.

“We’ll save Uncle Raymond for last,” Savannah said.

“I want to be there to see it all.” Savannah could hear the pain in Montana’s voice. Out of all of the sisters, Montana was closest to Uncle Raymond.

Each pair reunited in the living room after they completed their tasks. Savannah’s cell phone rang before Troy could talk. “It’s my neighbor,” she said, looking at the screen. She answered the call. “Are you sure it’s the same men?” she asked. “No, don’t do anything. Stay inside. I’ll call the police.” She hung up. The conversation around her ceased. “Ladies, we won’t be going back home tonight. Seems like our visitors returned.”

Montana removed her cell phone. “I’m calling the police—”

Troy interrupted their conversation. “Montana, don’t. You need to go back home. If you don’t, they may suspect something. This time if they come back, you’ll be ready for them.”

“My daddy once told me that an unwanted pest had to be terminated,” Asia said as she folded her arms. “It’s on.”

Savannah’s stomach turned cartwheels as they drove home. Troy stayed lying down on the floor, just in case they were being watched. “Troy, are you sure we’re doing the right thing?” Savannah asked.

“Yes. We want them to come to you. If need be, we’ll kill them all. Once I identify who the leader is, we can eliminate the others.”

Savannah thought back to her conversation with her neighbor.
