      “What’d you do now?” he hollered. Sheriff Thorn’s words struck my heart. Without thinking, I grasped the knife to pull it from her chest. “Shit, you crazy coot, drop it,” he snarled, then grabbed me up and slammed me against the side of the cruiser.

      Sixteen-year-old Meg felt the hair on the back of her neck prick to attention. She looked around the student parking lot and shivered, even though she’d worked up a good sweat at basketball practice. Her coach had kept her late, wanting her to run the two new plays with him. As point guard, she had to know and call each play.

      Staying late was fine. Only she hated walking to her car in the dark. January in the south meant cold, early nights. Meg took a deep breath and sent a text to her mother.

      M: On the way home. I’m hungry. What’s for dinner?

      The parking lot lights cast shadows that made her want to jump out of her skin. Instead, she stuck her phone in the back pocket of her shorts and reached for her keys. She opened the driver’s door.

      A low scrape to her left made her flinch. A figure stepped around the corner of the building. Meg’s heart leapt. She wove the keys through her fingers and slid in the seat to slam the door.

      A hard hand stopped it. Meg?

      She jerked and stifled a scream. Then she recognized Tanner. She placed a hand over her pounding heart. Oh my gosh, you scared me to death. What are you doing?

      Waiting for you.

      Well, I’ve got to go. Mom’s waiting on me for dinner. Can we catch up tomorrow?

      I’m sorry. Tomorrow will be too late.

      Too late for— A fine mist caught her in the face. She gasped and stared up at the guy she’d thought was her friend. Tan?

      He simply watched as her world faded and went black.

      Jillian Brady glanced at the clock. She’d gotten Meg’s text thirty minutes ago. The girl should have been home by now.

      J: Meg. Where r u?

      Almost immediately, she got a reply.

      M: Meg won’t be coming home for dinner. Stay by ur phone.

      Jillian gaped. What?

      Detective Colton Brady, Jillian’s husband, stood at the kitchen sink slicing tomatoes for the hamburgers he’d just brought in from the grill. His head snapped up. What is it?

      I just got the weirdest—scariest—text from Meg. If it was even from her. She took the phone
