His jaw tightened.Eli asked who could have loved Marcus. The man had no family. No friends. No one came to his funeral.Claire said Marcus had a sister. A woman named Lena. She had visited him in prison. Derek had mentioned her once.I asked if Claire had met her.Claire said no. But she had seen a photograph. Dark hair. Dark eyes. A scar on her hand.Luca asked if Lena knew about Derek.Claire said she must have. Marcus would have told her everything.The phone buzzed again.Midnight. The warehouse on Elm Street. Come alone.

Grace slept through everything.The police came at dawn. Two officers. A detective in a plain coat.He asked us questions. Where had we been? When did we last see Marcus? Did we know anyone who wanted him dead?Luca answered for all of us. He said we had been at the cabin. Marcus had come to the door. He had threatened us. We walked to the main road. A woman drove us to the police station. We had never touched Marcus.The detective nodded. He said they had no suspects. But they would be in touch.He left.Eli closed the door. He leaned against it.He asked Luca if he thought the police would find the killer.Luca said he did not know.I asked if Luca thought Marcus deserved to die.Luca was quiet for a moment. Then he said yes.Eli said no one deserved to die like that.Luca looked at Eli. His eyes w
