PETE KRAMER ENDED THE CALL WITH ETHAN AND SLID HIS PHONE into the breast pocket of his suit coat.

He stared at Eugenia Morgan’s house.

Backup was on the way, and he considered waiting for the cavalry to arrive or at least for Ethan to show up.

But there was a very realistic possibility that Eugenia Morgan and Francis Bernard were inside the home, and waiting was not an option.

The garage door was open, although the garage itself was empty.

He stood from his car, leaving the cane behind.

He pulled his Glock 45 from its holster and steadied himself on his good leg before limping up the driveway.

He looked around the quiet neighborhood, knowing the place would soon be teeming with police cars and news vans.

He staggered another few steps up the driveway before noticing that not only was the bay door to the garage open, but so, too, was the door inside the garage that led into the house.

He stopped when he heard it.

He listened to make sure.

It was music, and it was coming from inside the house.

After another few more steps he reached the garage, and recognized the song—“Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”

by Elton John.
