Chapter 9

Alex headed her car toward Betty’s house, Betty in the passenger seat. Alex wanted to see the layout and all the issues Betty had pointed out. Betty’s daughter would meet them at the coffee shop and take her mother back to her place. Alex wanted to make sure this was done quietly. If the intruder was still around, watching, she wanted him or her to not realize the cops had found out about Betty’s house. It was the perfect opportunity to go in, set up cameras, and see if they could find out what the hell was going on. There was also a good chance this person had already left the area. But she’d take whatever opportunity she could.

Betty pointed out the house. Instead of parking out front, Alex parked down the street. She really didn’t want anybody to know they were here or which house they would enter. She pulled on a jacket from her trunk and, with Betty at her side, they walked toward the house and passed it. She went into the neighbor’s backyard and around, as if going to a different house, then slipped behind to Betty’s house. With Betty safely behind her, Alex pulled her weapon and stepped inside. She listened but couldn’t hear or see anything.

From where she stood, she could see two officers in the opposite backyard. They hopped the fence and joined them. They went in ahead of Alex and did a quick sweep through the property. When clear, she let Betty in. Grabbing the bags and jacket Betty wanted, Alex turned to her and asked, “Do you need anything else right now?”

Betty shook her head. “No. I just … I just want to leave.”

With the men now installing cameras, Alex walked casually with Betty back out front to the street to the car, talking animatedly. Thankfully she was driving her own car, not one of the cruisers. With Betty at her side, she drove to the coffee shop where they met her daughter. As soon as they arrived, the daughter rushed toward her mom.

“Are you all right?” she demanded.

Betty nodded and patted her daughter’s hand. “But you were right. I needed to go to the police.”

The daughter turned to look at Alex. “Do you know anything about the intruder?”

Alex shook her head. “No. But we have four other cases like this. We’re installing cameras in Betty’s house, and, if he returns, we’ll catch him. He might already know she’s back though, and that’s something we can’t do anything about.”

The daughter nodded. “Is it okay if I take her now?”

“Absolutely.” She turned to Betty. “I’ll let you know if we find out anything.”

Betty gave Alex a grateful smile and let her daughter lead her away.

Alex watched them back out of the parking lot and turn onto the main road. This was a huge break in the case for so many reasons. The trouble was, they might not have had enough warning to make the best of it. If the intruder had seen Betty return, then he’d spook and take off.
