Dick and Jonathan take on four-year-old boy and the murder of a day-care mom.
No one had ever seriously tried to kill me before--and I had to assume cutting someone's brake linings had to be considered serious. "Nothing gets by you, does it, Hardesty?" a mind voice observed. And if whoever did it knew I would be going down that hill toward a train track, I'd say it was pretty damned serious.
My second reaction was anger, which blossomed into near fury. What if Jonathan and or Joshua had been in the car with me? If anyone has a grudge against me, let them take their best shot...but they'd damned well better keep everyone else out of it, especially people I care about.
If whoever had done this had just left well enough alone, I'd have put the whole matter behind me. I'd just resigned myself to the fact that with no client paying the bills, I'd simply have to let it drop. Ah, but that was before it became really personal.
