Chapter 57
Tarot
8:30 p.m.
AFTER THE COPS left, Peyton and Ruby were still very shaken by what had happened. We decided that instead of staying at her place that night, we’d get a hotel room. A nice, luxurious one, with two bedrooms. I wanted to pamper both of my girls, at least for one night. They’d been through so much. Fortunately, Rick and his wife volunteered to keep Chilly until we returned.
“Your neighbor is incredible,” was all that I could say when we were in my truck, heading toward the hotel.
“He is,” she replied, staring out the window. She looked at me. “I found out he lost his daughter. She was murdered. That’s why he sympathized with our situation.”
“You’ll have to tell me about it later,” I replied.
Peyton nodded.
