Chapter Twenty Three

Back at home, Caroline cornered Harry in the kitchen. “Sit down, little brother. Big sister wants a word.”
“That sound ominous,” said Harry with a smile.
“I’m serious. I want to know about these men who’ve been hanging round the house.”
Harry’s smile dissolved. “What makes you think I know any more about them than you do?”

Harry saw the look in Caroline’s eyes and sighed. “All right, I’ll tell you.”
“Fine.” Carol
