  A police car screamed down the street toward them and parked out front. Two officers approached Carol’s car. Still shaking, she got out. She told them everything she’d seen, but she had no description other than he was about six-two with broad shoulders. They checked out the house, too, but found nothing.

  The younger officer with kind blue eyes rejoined them. “I don’t think you should stay here, miss. The lock on the back door is broken. We’ll hang around until you gather some things together.”

  The shock wore off enough for Carol to mull over the intruder’s words. He was looking for Mallory. This was no casual break-in. She told the officer what the man said. “I’d better take Haylie to Folly Shoals to join her mother. I’ll grab her things.”

  She felt safer with the officer beside her, and she quickly stuffed Haylie’s clothes into a bag. There was no time to waste. Mallory needed to know what was going on here.

  The story continues in Mermaid Moon by Colleen Coble.
