Smoke Screen
“BRITT WHISPERED.
“I don’t know. I just caught a glimpse through the window above the kitchen sink of someone moving around.”
Peering through a tangle of wild shrubbery, he watched the window for a full minute but no longer saw the moving shadow. However, he knew he hadn’t been mistaken. His first impulse was to charge into the cabin and confront the intruder. But he hadn’t been able to determine if the person was male or female, large or small, a potential threat or someone who was lost... and seeking the help of a stranger.
Given the event of last night, he feared the worst.
Apparently Britt’s thoughts were moving along the same track, because she looked at him with apprehension.
“Stay put,” he said.
But when he tried to move, she grabbed his arm. She seemed about to beg him not to leave her alone. Instead she nodded. “Be careful.”MoreLess
