Runaway bride pursued by a man with murder on his mind.
Don't turn on the hall lights. A silent voice warned her. Aware she was probably overreacting to a situation that would be explained in a few minutes, Layne crept down the dark corridor toward the guest room and the sound of Trish and Freddy's voices. Their voices grew louder. Be careful.Layne stopped to listen outside the guest room before knocking on the door.Then Freddy said something that froze her in her tracks."Don't look at me like that." Freddy spoke to Trish. "You know what we agreed. And it must appear to be an accident."
Excerpt
"Hello?"
There was nothing on the line other than the wind.
"Hello? Is anyone there?"
Layne hung up the telephone, trying to convince herself the storm had messed up the phone lines.
Shortly after she fell asleep, the phone rang again. Again, no one was there when she answered. Walking to the window, she glanced in the direction of the motel office. A bright light now burned inside. That was strange. The owner had told her tht she never stayed at the motel overnight. Maybe she left a light on when she left. Or was she there?
