Double Trouble (2015)
““Don’t run away on me. I . . . need you, Princess.”
A streetlamp poured light down on the empty parking spot in front of Gabby’s that the Charger normally occupied. She drifted up to the curb, parked, and got out. Only a glow in the back of Gabby’s house —the kitchen lights, probably —suggested someone was home.
Dally’s place collected shadows, emanating danger as it sat in darkness, the streetlamp just barely illuminating the porch. PJ paused at the entrance to the walk and took a second to se...arch for Lee. Sure enough, she spotted his car, three down and across the street, out of the hover of the lamplight. She peered toward it but couldn’t make out his outline.
Next door, the rottweiler lounged on the porch. He lifted his head and let out one bark as she advanced up Dally’s walk. Apparently she wasn’t worth the energy of a full-out alert anymore.
Movement on the porch stilled her. She froze, halfway up the walk. A form stood in the darkness, someone by the front door.MoreLess
