into the room before Joe could stop her. FBI agents were standing over the body, and she shoved one from behind to move him out of way.
Then she saw him. Harold McGraw. On the floor at her feet. The knife he’d pricked her with for days an inch or two from his hands. Blood pooled out from underneath him and he didn’t move. He never moved. Then Joe was lifting her again, and carrying her out of the room, his arms secured tightly around her.
“Don’t look.”
“I need to see. I need to know.”
“It’s over. Everything is going to be okay now. I promise.”
“He’s really dead?”
“He’s dead.”
Over his shoulder she’d watched McGraw the whole time as Joe carried her back out of the cabin, waiting to see if he would get up, waiting to see if he would come after her.
He never moved. Not an inch.
He was dead.
Vivian blinked away the memories. Because now she had to question all of it. Her memories, the sound of the gunshots. What if McGraw wasn’t dead? The only person she knew to tell was the person who was supposed to have killed him.
Vivian bolted into action. She ran back to her room and pulled on an old pair of jeans, a sweater and some boots. Dashing toward her front door, she noticed the clock in the kitchen and remembered it was the middle of the night.
It didn’t matter. She had proof. She had a message with his voice on it. She couldn’t have made that up. Joe needed to hear it. He needed to tell her she was wrong and it wasn’t McGraw’s voice because he was dead. Because Joe had killed him.
Grabbing her coat and purse, she opened the door and sprinted out into the hallway. Only she didn’t get very far. Someone was sitting outside her door, waiting for her.
The feel of a hand wrapping around her ankle paralyzed her at first. Then she began to scream.
