Chapter 12. HE PULLED TABBY DOWN hard, making her cry out. “You too, Grayson.” The guy yelled. Oh f**k. This wasn’t good. His friend was at his back. “What do you want?” Grayson called out. “I want you to go inside. Now!” “Okay, okay. Be cool.” They walked down the small path and opened the door on the lovely house his sister was renting. The stink of death hit him like a heat wave and he stopped breathing as his belly heaved. They walked further into the house and there was a scream and a door slamming shut. Brad twisted around and saw Tabby lying on the floor. He pushed past Grayson to pick her up. “Tabby... I’m so sorry. Are you hurt?” She let out a strangled sob. “No. It’s not me. They killed Katie.” He didn’t know who Katie was, but he thanked God it wasn’t his sister.
