Glancing up, he caught his father’s empty stare, watching. Always watching. “What are you looking at, old man,” he snarled.

The man remained silent.

“What?” the Judge snapped. “You’ve got nothing to say now?”

It drove him crazy how the man could just sit there for hours on end saying nothing. Then other times he would talk until the Judge wanted to run screaming from the house.

“Aw, why do I waste my time on you?”

He gathered up his treasures and carried them from the room. It was time.

Time to take care of those who’d mocked him.

Yes, he decided as he drew in a deep, calming breath. It was a good day to kill.

Acknowledgments

This is always the hard part. I’m always so scared to thank anyone because I’m sure to miss someone. However, I’m going to give it my best shot.

As always, thank you to my
very understanding
family, my husband, Jack, daughter, Lauryn, and son, Will. I don’t cook – much. I don’t clean – often. I do laundry – occasionally. And I have Chinese takeout, Pizza Inn, and for the guilt-induced vegetable night, Wade’s Family Restaurant, on speed dial. (You know it’s bad when they recognize your number from the caller ID, and instead of “Hello, how can I help you?” your greeting is, “It’ll be ready in 15 minutes, Mrs. Eason.”) ’Nuff said.

Major thanks to Wayne Smith, retired FBI agent, who read my manuscript and said, “It’s a great read that even a macho male would enjoy.” Whew! What a compliment! Thanks, Wayne, you rock.

Mega thanks to the Revell staff. Thanks to everyone who had a hand in the book. Even though I haven’t met you, I appreciate you!

And to my faithful, loyal readers, thank you SO much for being first in line to purchase my stories. I hope you enjoyed this one as much as the last.
