Protecting Justice (The Justice Series book 4)

A noise—a soft rustle—came from downstairs, so faint, she wasn’t sure she’d heard anything. Maybe she was confusing it with the traffic noise outside.
She rubbed her eyes and tried to blink away the fog in her brain. The clock read 2 a.m. Maybe she’d been dreaming. Imagined the noise.
