Read Here We Come (Aggie's Inheritance) Online
Authors: Chautona Havig
With
one
last
glance
at
the
window
that
had
once
been
“her”
room,
she
turned
the
car
around
and
headed
back
down
the
street.
She’d
only
made
it
about
three
houses
down
when
her
eyes
widened
and
her
foot
stomped
on
the
brake.
Aggie
didn’t
even
bother
to
make
another
U-turn.
She
threw
the
car
in
reverse
and
punched
the
gas,
backing
down
the
street
at
a
speed
she
usually
would
never
have
attempted
.
She
peered
through
the
gates
once
more,
staring
intently
into
the
garage.
The
silver
car
inside
looked
like
the
back
end
of
a
Mercedes—exactly
the
kind
she’d
seen
drive
away
from
her
house
all
too
often.
Fumbling
for
her
phone,
Aggie
took
a
deep
breath,
slid
it
open,
and
called
William, whispering,
“I
think
I
found
them.”
“What?”
His
voice
sounded
a
little
garbled
.
“I
said,”
she
repeated,
assuming
he
hadn’t
understood
her,
“I
think
I
found
them.
I’m
at
Allie’s
old
house—it’s
near
the
residential
home,
so
I
drove
by.
I
think
I
see
Geraldine’s
car
in
the
garage.
The
door
is
half
open
and
I’ve
just
got
a
perfect
angle
for
it.
”
“Why are you whispering?”
She snickered at
the ridiculousness of the idea.
“I don’
t know.
I’m making sure she can’t hear me?”
She swallowed her excitement and asked, “What do I do?”
“Back
out
and
park
down
the
street
where
she
can’t
see
you.
If
she
leaves,
call
me
again.
I’m
only
a
couple
of
miles
away.
I’m
calling
the
Rockland
police
now.
This
is
almost
over,
Aggie.”
~*~*~*~
The
scene
felt
ripped
from
a
movie
.
Police
cars
and
black,
unmarked
vehicles
raced
as
swiftly
as
safety
allowed
down
the
residential
streets
of
one
of
Rockland’s
oldest
neighborhoods.
Children
stopped
on
their
scooters
and
bicycles,
pointing.
Drapes
were
brushed
aside
while
curious
neighbors
craned
their
necks
to
see
what
was
happening
out
side
their
doors.
Younger
people
with
less
pride
stepped
outside
and
strolled
down
the
street
for
a
better
look.
Cell
phones
buzzed
with
tweets
and
texts.
Aggie
waited
for
just
one
car.
The
rest
could
do
their
thing,
but
until
she
saw
William,
she
had
no
intention
of
moving.
The
last
thing
she
needed
was
to
invalidate
her
own
restraining
order
,
and
it
seemed
like
she’d
been
told
that
would
happen
if
she
got
too
close.
It
wasn’t
worth
the
risk.
While
she
waited,
she
sent
Luke
a
text
message,
called
her
father,
and
then
called
Tina
and
asked
that
she
let
Tavish
know
his
sister
would
probably
come
home
soon.
Either
way,
she
was
fine.
William
said
he’
d
seen
her
and
she
was
fine.
