What We Found
“Now,” I said.
Ricky glanced back and started to turn, but Thomas Bain placed a hand on his shoulder. “Don’t run away. I just want to talk to you.” He looked past Ricky and met my eyes. “You’re the girl who found Bethany’s body, right?”
I couldn’t speak. Couldn’t move. I might be facing a murderer. Spots danced before my eyes and the ground seemed to shift.
Thomas Bain moved forward, guiding Ricky along. “I want to thank you.”
Thank me? I fought back the waves of dizziness and nausea and tried t...o focus on the man. He looked perfectly ordinary. He was a few inches taller than Ricky, maybe five foot eight. Average build, not particularly muscular. Brown hair, brown eyes without any glimmer of evil in them, a bit of stubble as if he hadn’t shaved that morning. He looked tired.
I wouldn’t have noticed him on the street.
I still wanted to get away.
Ricky was fumbling with his phone, holding it close to his body where Bain might not notice. I hoped he was calling the police.MoreLess
