      “Now, you don’t want to irritate me.” Penny’s voice went soft with venom. “I just might be tempted to push your little car right off the road and into the swamp if you do.”

      Jennifer clenched her teeth. Could she? Would she? She really didn’t want to find out. “Tell me what you want and leave me alone.”

      “I suppose I must if you won’t walk down memory lane with me. It’s very simple, really.” Penny sounded satisfied that she was going to get what she wanted. “I want you to carry a message to Alexis’s father. Tell him that for a hundred thousand, I’ll keep quiet about him. No one else needs to know he’s the father. I’ll get in touch with you to tell him how to deliver it.”

      She shook her head, trying to make sense of this. “Who? Who are you talking about? I don’t know who the child’s father is.”

      For a moment the cell phone was silent. Then Penny laughed softly, and dread pooled in Jennifer’s heart.

      “You know, don’t you? You’ve figured it out. Alexis’s father is your good friend. Mason Grant.”
