The candle flickered on the writing desk, casting an eerie glow over the
peeling wallpaper and high ceilings of what had once been the parlor.
I could have gone to the basement to turn on the lights — the
electricity in the old house had worked the last time I’d checked, when I’d
let Willa and the Kings stay here a few months before — but I didn’t want
anyone to know I was here.
Not yet.
The house was deserted, but it was almost summer and a new crop of
high school kids still gathered at the base of the falls to party, Blake’s
murder slowly becoming legend, a story people told for its entertainment
value by people who hadn’t known him. The last thing I needed was a
bunch of curious teenagers seeing the lights on in the house and deciding to
take a look.
I understood the appeal of Blake’s story. It was a ghost story of sorts,
although I had to say, it didn’t hold the same appeal when you were living
it.
I stared at the three blank pieces of paper in front of me, each one with a
single line at the top.
Dear Wolf…
Dear Otis…
Dear Jace…
It was as far as I’d gotten. What did you say to the three men who might
have killed your brother?
I tapped the pen on the desk, remembering that night.
Someone had murdered Blake, left him on the riverbank. Where had
Jace, Wolf, and Otis — the three men who’d been attached to my brother at
the hip — been when it happened? Why had the police arrived so fast,
tipped off by an anonymous caller before I’d even had time to dial 911?
And most of all, why had Jace, Wolf, and Otis confessed to the murder
when it had seemed all but certain I was the one going down for it, thanks
to a hefty dose of my DNA on the murder weapon and on Blake’s body?
Had they done it to protect me (this didn’t make sense — why would
three guys who barely gave me the time of day take a murder rap for me?)?
Or had they really killed my brother?
I drew in a breath, letting it out slowly, the way my therapist had taught
me to do when I was feeling anxious or panicky.
The questions surrounding Blake’s death had haunted me for five years,
and it wasn’t like his best friends had been any help. I’d tried — more than
once — to visit them in prison but they’d refused me every time, until
finally, a guard with kind brown eyes had told me they’d put me on a Do
Not Allow list for visitors.
And that had been that. I’d finished high school (not easy when
everyone still wondered if you were a murderer) and went to a semi-local
community college to study marketing (boring, I know, but I had to do
something).
Then I’d waited. And waited.
Now the three men who’d occupied my thoughts — my dreams and
nightmares — were getting out of prison. Tomorrow they’d finally be set
free.
