Chapter 22

Alice walked the bike path past her house and continued on to the park.

Tomorrow night she'd be at Lauren's slumber party, but for the current evening, her only refuge was sleeping outdoors. Though she suspected more than one person would think her crazy if they knew she was sleeping in the park.

There were over half a million people living in the city and there'd been more than one serial killer over the decades.

The Green River Killer still hadn't been caught.

Unfortunately, the last time she'd spent the night at her own house... Honestly, Alice would rather not remember the last time, and yet she couldn't help but remember it all. It wasn't exactly something that was easily forgettable.

She'd done what Cynthia had asked of her when Cynthia had her friends over.

It truly hadn't hurt all that much.

But she had no intention of ever going home again.
