I hit the room hard seconds later.
Rain blasted through the shattered window.
Curtains whipping violently in the storm.
I reached the opening just in time to see the man hit the ground below and sprint toward a dark SUV parked in the back near the tree line.
Engine already running.
Not alone.
Damn it.
Headlights burst on instantly.
The SUV fishtailed hard in the mud before tearing down the back propertyroad.
Gone.
Wolf swore viciously beside me.
“What the hell was he doing up here?”
My eyes slowly moved toward the closet.
Door hanging partially open.
And suddenly?—
my stomach dropped.
Because the floorboards beneath it had been ripped up.
Someone had already found the hiding place.
Behind us, Flick appeared in the doorway breathing hard.
“Hersh?”
I looked at her slowly.
And knew before checking.
We were too late.
The hiding box sat open on the bedroom floor.
Letters scattered everywhere.
And one entire section missing.
37
FELICITY
The letters were everywhere.
Across the floor.
