She left quickly, and Mark decided to follow her, staying hidden. He grabbed his coat and slipped out the door a few moments after she did, keeping a safe distance.

He trailed her through the neighborhood, heart pounding, unsure of what he might discover. The further she walked, the stronger his sense of foreboding grew.
