wooden　haft。

She　pulled　the　door　open。

The　short　corridor　leading　to　their　quarters　was　bare。　The　electric　wall

flambeaux　all　shone　brightly　at　their　regular　intervals；　showing　off　the　rugs

blue　background　and　sinuous；　weaving　pattern。

（See？　No　boogies　here。）

（No；　of　course　not。　They　want　you　out。　They　want　you　to　do　something　silly　and

womanish；　and　that　is　exactly　what　you　are　doing。）

She　hesitated　again；　miserably　caught；　not　wanting　to　leave　Danny　and　the

safety　of　the　apartment　and　at　the　same　time　needing　badly　to　reassure　herself

that　Jack　was　still　。

safely　packed　away。

（Of　course　he　is。）

（But　the　voices）

（There　were　no　voices。　It　was　your　imagination。　It　was　the　wind。）

〃It　wasnt　the　wind。〃

The　sound　of　her　own　voice　made　her　jump。　But　the　deadly　certainty　in　it　made

her　go　forward。　The　knife　swung　by　her　side；　catching　angles　of　light　and

throwing　them　on　the　silk　wallpaper。　Her　slippers　whispered　against　the　carpets

nap。　Her　nerves　were　singing　like　wires。

She　reached　the　corner　of　the　main　corridor　and　peered　around；　her　mind

stiffened　for　whatever　she　might　see　there。

There　was　nothing　to　see。

After　a　moments　hesitation　she　rounded　the　corner　and　began　down　the　main

corridor。　Each　step　toward　the　shadowy　stairwell　increased　her　dread　and　made

her　aware　that　she　was　leaving　her　sleeping　son　behind；　alone　and　unprotected。

The　sound　of　her　slippers　against　the　carpet　seemed　louder　and　louder　in　her

ears；　twice　she　looked　back　over　her　shoulder　to　convince　herself　that　someone

wasnt　creeping　up　behind　her。

She　reached　the　stairwell　and　put　her　hand　on　the　cold　newel　post　at　the　top

of　the　railing。　There　were　nineteen　wide　steps　down　to　the　lobby。　She　had

counted　them　enough　times　to　know。　Nineteen　carpeted　stair　risers；　and　nary　a

Jack　crouching　on　any　one　of　them。　Of　course　not。　Jack　was　locked　in　the　pantry

behind　a　hefty　steel　bolt　and　a　thick　wooden　door。

But　the　lobby　was　dark　and　oh　so　full　of　shadows。

Her　pulse　thudded　steadily　and　deeply　in　her　throat。
