Excerpt

From Deadly Isle
by Dani Pettrey
He worked fast, and as silently as possible. He needed to ensure
Tennyson didn’t smell the gas until it had a chance to fill the basement and hit
the blazing pilot light, which she was thoughtful enough to keep flickering by
her use of hot water above.
He surveyed the space around him and smiled when his flashlight
beam
landed on the red velvet Christmas tree skirt in a clear plastic storage tub.
Now to be extra quiet . . .
He crept to the storage tub, opened it, bunched the skirt in his gloved
hands, and ever-so-carefully climbed the basement stairs, wedging it into the
space between the mudroom door and the floor. Even with her presence in the
kitchen
—
a mere room away from the mudroom
—
filling the crack would give
him the time needed for the gas to fill the small space. And t
hen it was good-
bye Tennyson Kent. All his troubles would disappear in an explosion’s brief
but deadly blast.
****
Teni pulled the kettle from the burner and switched off the
dancing
flames. Pouring the hot water over the dark chocolate Godiva cocoa powder
she’d emptied into her favorite
I moose wake up
travel mug, she scalded her
hand on the kettle and, jerking in response, managed to splatter chocolate
cocoa all over her light gray shirt.
Great
. She dropped the kettle back on the burner and held her hand under
running cold water until the burn chilled, though a blister was already forming
on the heel of her palm. Switching the water to hot, she yanked a dish towel
off the stove handle, dampening it in the steaming water, hoping to use it to
dab out the stains dotting her favorite shirt before they set.
Lightning struck with a house-shaking clatter, illuminating the
tree line
outside her kitchen window.
A chill reverberated up her spine.
Was that . . . a man’s silhouette? Had Jared returned?
Thunder rumbled in her chest.
Lightning crackled again, this time zigzagging across the black night sky,
again clearly illuminating the forest and a fleeing silhouette
.
She swallowed. Someone
was
definitely out there. Grabbing her sidearm
and flashlight, she shimmied into her raincoat and rushed outside, flipping on
the porch light as she went.
The metal flashlight was cool in her still-burning palm as she raced for
the tree line. She took one step across the forest’s threshold and an explosion
rent the air, quaking the ground and propelling her toward the trees in a rush
of fire.
