“Katie,” the coarse whispered voice called. “Katie, help me.”
Jessica sat upright in bed and pushed her blond hair behind her ears.
“Not again,” she whispered.

Ginger whined.
“Shh, it’s okay, girl.” Were the kids awake? She stopped petting the dog, putting all her concentration into listening. The house was quiet.
As if on cue, the voice called out again. “Katie, help me.”
Was he in the cellar? Jessica pushed the sheets off.
“Katie, help me.” The voice had moved from the cellar to the backyard. Could anyone move that quickly?
