Stolen Dreams (21 page)

It was nearly five o’clock, and Mary was having a hard time keeping
her mind on her work and not daydreaming about Bradley’s reaction to her
Halloween costume.
 
She sighed as she
reread the web page in front of her for the fourth time.

“Okay, this is ridiculous,” she said aloud. “I just need to
go home. I’m not getting anything done here.”

She moved to turn off her computer when her phone rang.
Without thinking, she picked it up. “O’Reilly Investigations,” she said
automatically.
“Mary O’Reilly speaking.”

“Hello, Mary,” said the chillingly familiar voice. “We told
you we’d be back.”
