No Safe House
“Cynthia showed him her Milford Department of Public Health ID, with photo. “This’ll persuade a home owner to let us into the attic without you having to threaten to blow their brains out.”
“I guess that’s better,” he said. The man seemed to be in a fog. He had to be thinking about Jane. I knew I was.
I went to the garage and returned with a stepladder and four short bungee cords with hooks at each end. I tipped my head back, as though looking through the ceiling to our own attic, and said to hi...m, “We’ll start here?”
Vince hesitated. “No. I haven’t got much time, and the other houses have more cash in them.”
So I carried the ladder outside and strapped it to the roof rack of the Escape with the bungee cords. It made sense that we all go in one car, and that included Grace. We didn’t have anyone to leave her with, and we certainly weren’t going to leave her at home after the terrifying events of this morning.
Once we were all in the car—Cynthia offered Vince the front seat next to me, not so much out of courtesy, I figured, but because she didn’t want him sitting in the back with Grace—we had to first go by Vince’s body shop headquarters.MoreLess
