Chapter Twelve
Dark was starting to settle in as he pulled up in front of Ryan’s house, seeing the sheriff’s cruiser was parked back in front of Marcus’s across the street. He stepped out of his van and took in Ryan’s park ranger pickup in the driveway behind Jenny’s small Cherokee. Both brothers were waiting for him on the front porch.
He looked right and left as he strode up the sidewalk. The door to the house was open, but Karen, Suzanne, and his mom didn’t appear to be there.
“Mom had Suzanne and Karen over at her place tonight, considering Marcus is working on the case,” Ryan said. “She has insisted we all show up at Marcus’s tomorrow, though.”
Marcus, who was still in uniform, said nothing as he stopped at the bottom of the stairs.
“So what’s going on?” Owen finally said.
