She clicked off the television and glanced out the window again to the night, where snow was falling rapidly, millions of tiny flakes visible as they danced in the light from the security cameras.
Even now, the killer could be outside.
Waiting.
The soft strains of music filtered in from the hallway, an instrumental rendition of “Silent Night.”
She was exhausted and, deep down, frightened. Yes, she’d survived, but how did she know the killer wouldn’t try again? She thought of Zane MacGregor, now behind bars, and of Harley, still alive but suffering…all because some whacko wanted her dead.
Why?
Who?
What unknown enemy had she made? One determined to take her life?
Back to the same old questions.
She thought of Aaron and their marriage, how at times it had been strained and distant. There had been incidents when he’d seemed to not be in the same room with her.
Jillian yawned, fighting exhaustion. Aaron hadn’t liked living in Seattle. A wanderer at heart, he’d wanted to get away from the gloom of the city, go somewhere with more seasons. He’d always brought up moving east, over the mountains….
All of her bones seemed to ache and she realized how truly spent she was. She could barely keep her eyes open and figured the hospital staff had slipped some kind of sedative into her IV.
Well, fine.
For tonight, she’d stop worrying about the danger that lurked outside the windows in the darkness. Maybe she could forget that something deadly and intent waited for her. Tonight she would stay in the hospital, warm and safe.
But come the morning, she was outta here.
As she started to doze off, the words to the Christmas carol slipped through her mind.
“Silent night, holy night.”
Uncomfortable, she drifted off to sleep.
