Teresa frowned. “Josie was a good girl. A real good girl.”
Landon walked through the archway, into the kitchen. “I’ll be right back.” He opened the kitchen door and let himself into the evening.
Moments later, he returned. “I need to get to the scene.” He looked at Tori as she held her hand to her throat. “Police are there now, so you’ll be safe in my vehicle. Likely the men are long gone. The police will question you and so will I.”
“You?” Tori lowered her hand. “Why?”
“I’ll explain once we leave.” He shrugged out of his white overshirt and handed it to Tori. “Cover up that tattoo and your shirt. If anyone is hanging around and watching from any number of vantage points, we don’t want them to recognize you.”
Tori stood to take the shirt and slip her arms into it. The shirt hung loosely on her, well past her hips to her upper thighs. She buttoned it up and rolled up the sleeves, concentrating on each task. He pulled a ball cap out of his back pocket and adjusted it for her smaller head.
When he’d guessed the size, he gave it to Tori. “Put your hair up under this.”
She took it from him. She wondered if her hands would ever stop shaking. Her chin-length hair took a little extra effort to push under the ball cap. “Can you tell me what’s going on? It’s something more, isn’t it?”
“Questions can wait.” Landon turned, bent, and kissed Teresa’s cheek before giving her a one-armed hug. “I’ll do my best to stop by at the end of the week, Grandma.”
“Sooner better than later.” Teresa studied him with her watery blue eyes. “I won’t be around for long, you know.”
“Sure you will.” Landon gave her a boyish smile that rubbed away some of the rough edges on his features. “I always knew you’d live forever.”
Teresa harrumphed. “Get going, boy.”
“Love you, Grandma.” Landon opened the door and Tori followed him outside into the near darkness.
