expression of pain flitted across his features, then disappeared just as
quickly as it had surfaced. Finally, he turned back to face them.
 He killed a family, he said at last.  Revenge killings are his
thing. It s my opinion he s building his reputation so he can move up
to the big league. It s not personal vendettas for him now, it s murder
for hire.
 How in the hell did Genevieve Wheeler connect with him?
Morgan wondered aloud.  I can t imagine that she d have much
accessibility to criminal elements. When do society matrons rub
elbows with assassins?
 Yeah, I was wondering that myself, Dallas said.
 That will be one of the things I find out in the morning, Bishop
said.  It could be that Jude s ex-husband hired him and Mrs. Wheeler
is the go-between. I ve seen crazier things happen. In the meantime,
one of you should get some rest while the other keeps a lookout.
You ve got my number. Call me if you need backup.
Dallas watched the Mercedes fade into the darkness.  Do you get
the feeling he isn t telling us everything?

Morgan nodded.  I think it s personal between him and Matthews.
Did you hear what he said about the revenge thing? Do you know
anything about Bishop s background before he hired on at the
department?
 Nope. Only thing I heard the chief say was that he lucked out
when Bishop signed on with the arson team. Let s go have a cup of
coffee and see what we can find out on the Internet. Gotta be
something on there about a family getting killed. That would make
news.
When Dallas opened the door, Jude met him with two steaming
cups of coffee in her hands. She looked tired but resolved.  I got the
pistol out of your nightstand while the coffee brewed. It s on the table
for easy access. And I pulled the blinds shut so no one can see inside.
Should we do anything else?
 You did good. Dallas took one of the cups out of her hand and
leaned over to brush a kiss on her forehead.  Why don t you go to
bed, sweetheart? It s going to be a long night. Morgan and I are
staying up for a while.
Jude shot him a stubborn look.  I m not going to bed until you
do.
Dallas shrugged.  Suit yourself, but you better fix another cup,
then. Jude turned to go into the kitchen.  Jude? She turned back to
him.  You do realize you re disobeying me again. You ll pay the
consequences for that later. Right now we really need you to get with
the program. Your life, and ours, might depend on you doing what we
tell you when we tell you, and not when you decide.
Her face flushed, and she hesitated before going over to the coffee
pot to pour a cup for herself.  Staying up late with the two men I love
doesn t put us in danger. I ll listen to you when the time comes.
Dallas nodded.  Okay, babe, I m counting on you to do that. This
situation could get real sticky, according to Bishop.
Morgan carried the laptop to the sofa, stretching his legs out while
he booted up the computer. Dallas sat down beside him so he could

see the screen. Jude snuggled up on the other side of Morgan. He
tapped a few keys and waited for the search engine to do its thing. It
didn t take long.
Jude gasped and gripped the edge of the laptop, twisting it toward
her. She felt a little tug somewhere deep inside as she stared at the
article that had appeared on the front page of Hawaii s premier
newspaper.
 Oh, my God, it s his sister.
 Seriously? Morgan asked.
Jude ran her finger down the screen.  Look. She tapped a picture
of Bishop in a police uniform. He looked a couple years younger,
almost happy. Not at all like the Bishop Taylor she d come to know.
Along with Bishop s photo was one of the three victims. They were
identified as Glenda, Erin, and Emmie Patterson, sister and nieces of
Officer Taylor.
The article stated that an investigation by the Hawaii Police
Department centered on suspect Harry Aaron Matthews. Matthews
had been arrested by Detective Taylor for attempted robbery and
murder. At his trial, he vowed to get even with Taylor, and he had.
Dallas pointed further down the page.  Look, it says Bishop quit
the force when Matthews got an early parole. He claimed Matthews
called him at home, threatening his family, and the judge wouldn t
revoke Matthew s parole.
 Why do you think he quit the force? Jude asked.  Wouldn t he
have the protection of his friends to back him up?
 I think he would quit if he planned on taking care of the problem [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
