They’d come here late last night just after the news broke that Dan had murdered a cop, and she’d not had a chance to look around. Now she sat in the dining room and tried to get her pounding heartbeat under control. This was just too much. She looked up when Lily sat down across from her. Kala had met her just an hour ago and had come in here to get away from them all. Lily’s smile did nothing to make her feel better. Kala started to ask her to go away, but she spoke first. “It’s too much, isn’t it?” Kala nodded. “I thought so. But I have to tell you, you’re doing better than Benny did the first time he met all of them. He freaked out and had to be locked away for a time.” “I most certainly did not.” Benny sat down next to his wife and kissed her on the cheek. He pushed a glass of water at her. “Drink this and I’ll tell you what’s going on. Unless you’d rather talk about Carey.” “I don’t think so.”
