Cari
peeked around a window frame, her gaze scanning the large empty room with a
huge vacant China cupboard until she glimpsed the chalk outline on the foyer
floor. She held back a small sob. A shadow caught the corner of her eye and she
sprung away from the window, a breath lodged in her throat.
Counting
slowly to ten to calm her racing heart, she chanced looking again in time to
see Jax go to his knees and begin cleaning up the outline of the victim. As he
continued scrubbing, Cari’s gaze traveled over to the mirror behind him. A
shadow reflected eerily in the antique glass when a cloud moved across the sun
behind her.

gasped. For a fleeting moment, she could have sworn there was a face staring
back at her from deep inside one of the fractured pieces of the mirror.
When she blinked, the image was gone as quickly as it had appeared.
