Read an Excerpt

The paramedics placed Margie on the stretcher and rushed her outside to the
ambulance while the cops placed tape around the church, which is determine a murder
scene.

Meanwhile at home, Barry heard the news on television.

Wait, Margie and Jason are at the church. Why did no one call me?
He jumped up, put on his shoes, grabbed his keys, and ran out the door to his work
truck.

When he arrived at the church, Barry glanced around the church and noticed red and
blue lights blinking from all the police cars. There were crowds of people surrounding
the church. He heard the cops telling everyone to move away and go home.
He ran up to the tape and his eyes widened as he realized that something terrible had
happened inside.

Barry started screaming, “Where are my wife and son? Where is wife and my
son? Can somebody tell me where they are?”

“Calm down, sir,” said the detective. “I’m Detective Earl. Four of the victims have
been rushed to the hospital, but we haven’t identified the bodies inside yet.”

“I can help you identify some of the victims because I attend this church with my
family and I practically know everyone!” yelled Barry.

Barry knew that would be the only way to get inside to see if Jason and Margie were
all right.

“Okay, just stay right here, sir, for just a minute.”

The detective went over and talked to the chief of police. They looked back and forth
toward Barry and glanced at him sideways with narrow eyes.
