My Husband Cooked Dinner, and Minutes After My Son and I Ate, We Both Collapsed. I Played Dead on the Floor and Heard Him on the Phone: “Soon They’ll Both Be Gone”
I heard him on the phone say we’d both be gone soon.”
“Are you in immediate danger right now, ma’am?”
“I don’t know.
He went out to the garage.
I can’t tell if he’s left or if he’s coming back.”
“Where in the house are you?”
“The kitchen.
In Oakridge.” I gave her the address, fast, before anything else, because the one thing I knew for certain was that I wanted the police already moving toward this house no matter what happened to me in the next five minutes.
