Chapter Five
Kellie groaned, squinted to see the numbers on her
alarm, and reached for the phone.
“Hello,” Kellie bounded out of bed as she listened and
answered, “Give me five minutes.”
Max mumbled, “Who was that and what are you doing?”
Kellie, struggling to
push her legs into her jeans, said, “It was Taylor. Andrea was attacked on her
way into work. Someone tried to strangle her. Chapter Six
Kellie caught her uncle’s gaze and took a deep breath.
She knew he wouldn’t believe Andrea’s attack was anything but some crazed man
terrorizing their town, but if he considered just a fraction of what Andrea
said as truth it would turn his world upside down again.
Mike stopped in front of Kellie and stared at her for
a moment before he spoke, “I did as I promised. I didn’t yell at Andrea or
upset her, but that doesn’t mean I trust all she said as the actual memories of
a rational woman. She was traumatized and when the brain is deprived of oxygen
for even a few moments, the mind plays tricks.” He stared at Kellie for another
minute, nodded, and strode toward the door.
