The clack of heels echoed on the floor as Jennifer hurried to the front door. "I have to go."
Vicki rushed and hugged them both, and then raced out after Jennifer.
Together they followed their guests' footsteps to the front door. John reached out and locked it. Alice stood up on her tiptoes to be closer to John's face as adrenaline rushed through her. "Did you amp up Morgan security at least?"
John turned back to her with a smile that showed off his sexy dimples. "Yes, we spoke on the phone."
The energy inside her couldn't be contained. "Good. John, I don't want to sit here and wait for someone to attack us again."
"What do you want to do?"
As she pointed to the door, the squeal of Vicki's tires reverberated in the air and Alice's hands shook. "Go out there and wrangle up the intruder in our lives."
John nodded. "Let's review the clues together first."
"Huh?"
He reached out and took her shaking hands in his. "Solving a case usually requires going through mounds of paperwork. We have email evidence, the phone message, and the video. We have mounting clues. Help me put the pieces together."
She bit her lower lip. This was at last something useful to do. She hugged her waist. "Where do we get started?"
He led her back to the rest of the house. "I have my case brief in the bedroom. Let me get it."
The charged energy she felt needed direction. In the bedroom, she'd likely get distracted. "Let me put coffee on and I'll meet you in the kitchen."
The threat would end soon and there would be nothing that stood in her way.
