Charlotte had thought so as well The testing site had been a little hole-in-the-wall, but in a high-traffic area, so neither had thought anything of it They both often said they were psychic, and thought it would be sotheir pal fun to do It hadn't turned out to be very fun

Charlotte looked into Genevieve's green eyes and saw the sa reflected there Who knew that so they'd done on a ould have such horrific consequences? It was like that with the the sa

"Ever since going there, I feel like we're being watched," Genevieve said "And not in a good way When ere still in France, before Grand-ot this really creepy vibe froe of the testing center crop up inthem with it"

Charlotte nodded her understanding The sa had happened to her more than once And then the murders happened Since then, they'd been ers in their lives Charlotte ran her brother's cabinet business, and she did a little art restoration on the side, but she hadn't really been working at her own business for months Not since she'd returned to the United States

"What are we going to do, Charlie?" Genevieve asked "I can't live like this for rateful I' that "

Charlotte kne she felt "We've taken the first step by co here We weren't all that quiet about it, either, Vi We've attracted a lot of attention Those ive off that creepy testing vibe to me What about you? And do they look familiar to you? I swear I've seen them before I think in France"

Genevieve followed Charlotte's gaze to the three men who had continuously asked them to dance and sent drinks to their table They'd winked and flirted and stayed close all night They were good dancers; they'd asked other women and Charlotte had watched the on the dance floor All three were exceptionally good-looking They seemed like men who frequented the dance club and picked up their share of wo off about them

"Same here The one naer every tih He just runs it over ives ht there inmyself we tested in France, so would they really follow us here? But I'm fairly certain they did"

"So maybe we should leave and then wait for theested "Lourdes is safe for tonight I've called half a dozen times, and Grace assures ht and find out where they're staying and who they really are Maybe we'll find out what they want from us"

Genevieve's vivid green eyes lit up "Absolutely I need to do so onfor so positive to help m

yself"

Charlotte nodded She knew better She had Lourdes Responsibilities One huge responsibility She'd always been adventureso headlong where others were afraid to go She hadn't stayed home with her brother She worked hard fro so she could finance her trip to France, where she'd alanted to go She learned French early and worked hard at it until she could speak like a native She'd left behind her brother and come back only to help hiain

"Selfish," she s I wanted to do I want to go after them, too, Vi I swear I do" She had to put her mouth close to Genevieve's ear to be heard over the music She wasn't the type of woman to hide in a house with the covers over her head, but as the right thing to do? She honestly didn't know

"Lourdes would be a lot safer if we figured this out, Charlie," Genevieve pointed out

She wasn't saying anything Charlotte hadn't already told herself, but Charlotte still didn't know if she herself wasexcuses to juht and shoving it right down the throat of their enemy

CharlotteIt wasn't in her character and Genevieve was so right--Lourdes needed to settle into a nor to cover their tracks "Let's do it, then, Vi We can follow them and see if we can find out what they're up to You can't look like you, though You draay too much attention"

Charlotte risked another quick glance at the three men The one named Daniel Forester appeared to be the leader His two friends definitely deferred to hi at her even as he danced with another woman The wonoring her to stare at Charlie

She raised an eyebrow at hirinned at her as if they shared a secret "He is an arrogant prick," she hissed

"So are his friends Players All three of theood and they use their appearances to pick up women"

Charlotte couldn't help it; she laughed softly, breaking the stare with Daniel to regard her best friend Genevieve was in full makeup and looked like a runwaybad here, Vi We both knoe look good and we ca for a little fun"
