Chapter 3 - Mark Confronts the Intruding Neighbor Standing in the Shadows
Mark stared at the elderly neighbor in total disbelief, his adrenaline still pumping through his veins.
“Mrs. Gable? What on earth are you doing inside my house in the middle of the night?” Mark demanded.
The elderly woman swallowed hard, casting a terrified glance toward Nora who remained frozen on the bedroom floor.
“I heard screaming through my open bedroom window across the driveway,” Mrs. Gable explained quickly.
“I knew something terrible was happening to little Lily, so I came through the unlocked side kitchen door.”
She held up the portable voice recorder, pressing a small button on the side of the plastic device.
“And I recorded every single word of what that woman just said to your daughter,” Mrs. Gable added firmly.
Nora’s face twisted into an ugly mask of pure panic as she realized her crimes were multiplying.
“You old hag, you have no right to record private conversations inside a family home!” Nora shrieked.

“Shut your mouth, Nora,” Mark growled, turning his fierce gaze back to the woman who threatened his child.
