Jessica nodded slowly. \u201cI see what you mean.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m just not ready to do that,\u201d said Elizabeth. \u201cGosh, when Mom and Dad find out what Sue\u2019s been up to… !\u201d \u201cThey’ll feel so betrayed,\u201d Jessica anticipated. \u201cThey might not even believe it. I mean, let’s face it\u2014they\u2019re pretty sympathetic to Sue, and I\u2019ve been in the doghouse lately.<\/p>\n

They’d probably think I made it all up to smear Sue.\u201d \u201cT still don\u2019t know what to think myself,\u201d said Elizabeth, twisting a strand of her silky blond hair. \u201cI mean, I like Sue. We were friends\u2014at least I thought we were. I just don\u2019t understand how she could get involved in something like this\u2014and with someone like Jeremy. If Jeremy’s as bad as she says, that is. I mean, she\u2019s not stupid\u2014she\u2019s a smart girl. Why would she go along with him? Is she a bad person, is she just lonely, or boy crazy, or spineless and impressionable, or what?\u201d<\/p>\n

Boy crazy, spineless, impressionable . . . sounds a lot like me, Jessica thought, making a wry face. \u201cI guess she\u2019s just greedy. She wants to get that money back.\u201d \u201cI was so mad at her when you told me about this last night,\u201d related Elizabeth, \u201cbut now . She sighed heavily.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that Sue came to you shows she\u2019s not totally selfish. It shows that she\u2019s started to realize she\u2019s making a huge mistake. I feel sorry for her in a way. She\u2019s backed herself into a comer with Jeremy\u2014clearly she\u2019s unhappy.\u201d \u201cSo what do you think we should do?\u201d Jessica asked somewhat impatiently. She personally thought it was a waste of time and energy to feel sorry for Sue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWait until eras) and call Sam again?\u201d \u201cT don\u2019t think we can afford to wait,\u201d said Elizabeth grimly. \u201cIf it were just Sue . . . She\u2019s trapped\u2014she can\u2019t make a move until she\u2019s sure the money is hers. But I think Jeremy Randall is a dangerous person. We’ll have to go to the police with the story Sue told you.\u201d \u201cThey’ll never believe it,\u201d predicted Jessica.<\/p>\n

Jeremy kissed Jessica long and hard on the mouth. Clearly he felt like she was in his power and he could do whatever he wanted with her. She tried her hardest to fake some enthusiasm, and Jeremy didn\u2019t seem to suspect anything. A mo- ment later he drew back from her. \u201cYou stay right here and make yourself comfortable,\u201d he said huskily, placing heavy hands on her shoulders. \u201cI’ll be right back, and then…\u201d Jeremy disappeared downstairs. As soon as he was out of sight, Jessica leaped to her feet.<\/p>\n

Dashing to the window, she pushed the curtain aside and peered out into the snowy night. Where are they? she wondered, panic slicing into her heart like a knife. Sam\u2019s car was nowhere in sight. Jessica raced to the other side of the cabin. The same view met her eyes from that window. Oh, no! They didn’t make it. The realization hit her like an avalanche. The whole time she\u2019d been sitting on the couch with Jeremy, Jessica had felt protected by her knowledge that help was just a shout away.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m alone here, Jessica thought, her teeth suddenly chattering. They got lost or had an accident. I’m alone.
