The Edge of Doom (2002)
“I have no precious time at all to spend Nor services to do, till you require.
The next day, Friday, Kate and Reed, spelling each other, were able to be home so that Jay was never alone in the apartment. Neither of them, if asked, could have explained their powerful disinclination to leave Jay in the apartment unattended, but, explicable or not, they acknowledged their apprehensions and were guided by them.
Clara would not come to clean until the following Tuesday. Something, anything, had to be... done about Jay before then. It was, indeed, true that Clara did not enter the maid’s room; it was impossible to clean, and the agreement that it would be ignored during her weekly visit was well-established. Nonetheless, Kate and Reed did not intend to leave her alone in the apartment with a strange man of whose presence she was ignorant.
