Rachel’s breath caught in her throat for the space of a heartbeat. She spun around. Billy Todd was standing directly behind her in the dimly lighted hallway. “I’d appreciated it if you would quit sneaking up on me like that.” She smiled up at him but her heart raced in startled reaction. “Sorry,” he said, and grinned. “Force of habit.” He glanced through the open bedroom door. Ahnle was lying on a low platform bed of some highly polished wood that Rachel couldn’t identify. There was a troubled, haunted look on her face that hadn’t smoothed away even in sleep. Billy walked forward, as silently as ever, and looked down at her. “Can she be left alone?” A frown carved deep lines in his high forehead. “I think so.” Rachel took one last, considering look at the sleeping girl and started down the hall ahead of Billy Todd. “I’ll leave the door open. If she wakes and calls out for me, it will be easier to hear her.” “Was she raped?” His hand on her arm stopped her.
