Felicia was a lot of things and efficient was on the top of the list.

"Yes, sir. It's been handled. Those two reporters won't be a problem in the future. The online magazine is small and can't afford the lawsuit. As for Mr. Carter...you were right. He seems a bit different around her. I'm not sure how you want me to proceed."

Felicia waited for Dalton Carter to answer before nodding. "Understood."

She disconnected the phone just as another call came in. "Mrs. Carter? How may I help you?"

As she listened to Joyce Carter, her eyes moved upward. It was a good thing they paid her good money or she would've quit long ago.

"I told you not to worry about me. I know what I'm doing. Yeah, I know. Don and Zachary were surprised I knew the truth. They didn't want me coming back here now that they know I knew. Yes, it's all very confusing. Don't worry. It'll be fine. Uh-huh. Okay, I'll see you tomorrow." Wally disconnected the call and glanced down the hall where Alex and Abby were staying. He shook his head and frowned before heading downstairs.

He tried clearing his throat which was feeling dryer than usual and navigated through the dark to get some water. He opened the fridge which illuminated the kitchen while his eyes scanned the contents for some water. After grabbing a bottle and taking a drink, he turned to head back upstairs.

A low sob caused him to still. Wally felt goosebumps prickling their way down his arms.

"Abby?" Wally whispered.

The sobbing turned into a whimper and Wally felt his feet rush forward to the living area, stumbling to find a light switch. He flipped on the light and let loose a blood-curdling scream.
