There was a brooding silence between them as they watched the house. Sure enough Jan's car was there. Men patrolled the grounds like normal. Rachel watched the front of the house, just able to make out the porch and the front door.

It didn't look like he was doing anything underhand, it didn't look like he was doing anything at all.
