To her surprise, he replied immediately with a name, address, and phone number.
All right.
Maybe she could meet with the older man who wanted to employ her. She looked up the address.
Shit.
It was miles away from town.
She would have to see if she could take a bus. There was no point in going for an interview if she couldn’t get to the job each day.
This was going to take some thinking about.
Still. It wouldn’t hurt just to go meet this guy, right?
He climbedthe tree so he had a better vantage point to study her house.
Why didn’t she draw her curtains?
He could see straight into her living room from here.
The security looked fairly good. A tall, solid fence. An electric gate.
Those things could make taking her from her house more of a challenge.
Luckily, he liked a challenge.
Although he could just snatch her off the streets.
Shouldn’t someone be watching over her? Why wasn’t anyone taking care of her?
She was like a babe in the woods.
Which was quite surprising given what had happened to her. Hadn’t she developed a better sense of self-preservation?
Shouldn’t she be hiding away? Scared of the world?
Instead, here she was . . . walking along the streets of this small town in the middle of nowhere like she didn’t have a care in the world.
He’d followed her the entire way home today and she hadn’t even noticed.
Not once had she glanced behind her.
Really. This was going to be so easy that it was almost disappointing.
The light turned off and she must have moved to the back of the house.
Time to do some recon and plan his next move.

Nerves fluttered in her stomach as she waited at the bus stop. This was it. She was going for a proper job interview. She’d never been to one before and she wasn’t sure she was even wearing the right sort of clothing.
But at least she was tidy and covered up. This wasn’t an office job where she had to wear corporate attire.
Someone sat next to her and she attempted to sneak a peek without making it obvious.
Although it turned out that she couldn’t see much of him anyway. He had a ballcap pulled low on his face and a large jacket that seemed overkill for the heat of the day.
