Chapter 6 - The KnockThree sharp knocks struck the apartment door.
Mark froze.
Again.
“Sophie?”
The voice came from the hallway.
“Open the door.”
Sophie knew that voice.
The old woman from the bus.
Mark grabbed her arm.
“Don't.”
The woman shouted through the door.
“Sophie, step away from him!”
Sophie looked at Mark.
“How does she know where we live?”
His eyes moved.
Just once.
But that was enough.
Sophie ripped herself free.
She ran.
Mark lunged.
The sleeve of her robe tore in his hand.
Sophie unlocked the door.
Two police officers stood outside.
Behind them was a woman holding a badge.
“Detective Mara Voss.”
Then Sophie saw the old woman.
Lavender scarf.
Silver hair.
Black coat.
The woman touched her shoulder.
“My name is Evelyn Ward.”
Mark's face went pale.

Evelyn looked directly at him.
“You remember me.”
