The sound terrified her.

The child’s scream.

She shot up the stairs, wishing Paul were here.

The child shrieked again and a voice growled, “Shut up or I’ll do it for you.”

Irene crept down the hall and saw him. The man she’d have nightmares about. As he lunged at her, she grabbed a vase and slammed it into his head. He staggered, giving her the moment she needed to grab the child.

“Irene!”

Paul! He’d come to save her!

As the man pulled a gun, Irene rushed into the bedroom and locked the door. From out in the hall she heard gunfire, a crash. Then quiet.

Her fear subsided when Paul busted open the door. From the look on his face, she knew the gunman had gotten away.

“I’m bringing the child home with me.”

She waited for the argument. Instead, he nodded. “We’ll keep a detail at your house.”

Then his face went ashen. “Irene, this isn’t over. They’re after the child, and because you’re the only witness, you.” She knew what he didn’t say. They’d keep killing till they got her.
