Until Death
“She cast a nervous smile toward Detective Trout. She felt so bad having the guy trail her. He was a detective, for goodness sake. He probably wanted to be out, hitting the streets, looking for clues. Not playing guard duty. “Why don’t you relax in the den, Detective?” she offered. “I’m going to get my brother settled in upstairs.”
“You need some help?” the detective asked.
“No, but thank you.” She steered Hugh toward the stairs. “Feel free to grab a bite from the kitchen. Or if you want to run ...out and get something…I mean, I’m safe here. And I’m not alone.”
“She’s got me,” Hugh mumbled.
But the detective shook his head. “My orders were to stay close.” But his gaze slid toward the kitchen. “Though I could go for a sandwich.”
“Help yourself.” She flashed him a nervous smile, then turned back to her brother. He was wavering on his feet. They climbed the stairs together, then she turned to the right, heading for the guest room.
Her brother pretty much fell into the bed.MoreLess
