Heat rose into my cheeks. Of course, Lisa started that rumor. Bob probably encouraged her to do it, too. “How did she…was she just waiting for us at the staircase—” I stopped abruptly as I got a news alert on my phone. I dove for the device. As soon as I got my hands to quit shaking, I found that the notification said that a fourth victim had been shot. My stomach churned. I prayed to the Moon Goddess that Andrew was not that fourth victim. When I raised my head, Jeffrey was staring pointedly at my phone. “There’s been a fourth victim at the shooting,” I explained, trying and failing to keep my voice steady. Jeffrey nodded without his expression changing. “Aren’t you worried at all?”
