Chapter 20: The Purchase

Tuesday morning went much the same as Monday. Cassie followed a jean-clad Tricia to the dentist and to the grocery store. Then she followed her home and waited. Just after ten, Tricia strolled out of the house wearing another sexy dress, this time red.

Curiosity arched Cassie's brow. There was definitely something going on.

Cassie followed her to the same pet store as yesterday, parked, and waited. Over an hour later, Tricia emerged from the store, once again, smiling and empty-handed.

What the hell?

Knowing Tricia would be going home to have lunch with Chase, Cassie decided she had time to check the place out. She parked in front of the pet store and went inside. The store seemed small, but the shelves were well-stocked and clean. Strolling leisurely down the aisles, her eyes scanned around for clues.
