"No, we can’t" Meara shook her head at Tessa "Believe me, you don’t want to see what Hunter will do if he finds them here"

Tessa sat on the arm of the couch and scowled "Let them in now, or else"

"It is her house," Cara conceded

"Then I’" Meara folded her aro with theht with everyone?" Jeesh, Tessa couldn’t believe she would have to leave her own house to interrogate possible witnesses
