Chapter 15
AFTER WAITING AROUND for a couple of hours, I began to wonder if she might have skipped town and if I was just wasting my time. Eventually, I nodded off until the sound of keys in the front door jolted me awake. Jumping to my feet, I took out the g*n, and moved into the hallway just as the door opened.
“Raina?” called a man’s voice.
I stepped around the corner. “She isn’t here,” I said, recognizing the stranger. He was the owner of Sal’s. We’d never formally met, but I’d seen him around town.
Sal, shocked, took a step back. “What in the hell are you doing here?”
“Looking for Raina. What are you doing here?” I asked, frowning.
“Looking for her, too. She’s my niece.”
My eyes widened. “Your niece?” I repeated.
He nodded, his eyes on my g*n. “Yes. What do you want with her?”
