Shadow opened the door with trepidation. She knew who was behind that knock. She was right. CIA Agent Bouldelaire stood there with a solemn face. He informed Shadow that they caught a suspect trying to get into her bedroom window last night. He told her she was not safe. He insisted that she be moved to a safe house until things calmed down. “I will not let fear rule my life,” Shadow said. “I refuse to go.” Agent Bouldelaire was taken aback, “It’s for your own safety,” he growled. However, by the look on Shadow’s face, who knew, she would not go. “Alright,” he said. “I can’t guarantee your safety if you don’t go with us… But I understand.” He ended by saying,”We will continue to keep watch over you.” Shadow thanked him then immediately ran to her litter box. He scared the poop out of her. ©
