“They”?
That single word stopped me cold.
Who were they? And why would they be coming after us?
My hands trembled as I scrolled through the photos I had taken earlier of the rental. I wanted evidence, proof that I wasn’t imagining what I’d seen. That’s when I noticed something chilling in one of the images — a faint red dot reflected on the curtain.
