Alex tapped the camera placed next to her door. “Doesn’t a camera light usually come on? A red light?”

She grabbed her phone. No notifications. Alex was right. Her phone should be chirping with their movements. Teddy’s spine stiffened like it did when he caught a scent. He spun around in a circle, lifting his nose up and down rapidly. He touched his nose to the door, barked and then looked pointedly at Violet.

Alex flinched. “His bark sounds like a gunshot. Tired of being in the cold, huh, buddy?”

“Be glad he doesn’t bark often.” She tried to keep her voice light, but it trembled. Teddy’s golden eyes told her everything she needed to know. She stepped to the side of the door so the window insert wouldn’t reveal her location if anyone was still inside. She beckoned Alex. “Do you want to call the police, or is it still best to keep this to ourselves?”

“What is it? What did you see?”

“Teddy’s reaction. He’s found a scent that doesn’t belong here. I think someone might be inside.”
