CHAPTER FIVE

Death and Resurrection

“Call the police,” Jason said as he grabbed his gun. “Get them over to that address. It’s Thomas Perry.”

“The guard at the gate?” Helen gasped.

“Yup. He knew you’d gone to the park. And Davis would have recognized him, and even trusted him.”

“He loved Perry,” Helen said softly. “If he’d needed money, all he had to do was ask.”

“It’s not about the money. It’s about revenge. I’ll explain later.”

He armed himself and vaulted to the Jeep. He wanted to get to the house first, before the police. If he could get Perry to stand down and release Davis, they would all be better for it.

But if things didn’t go down like that, Jason would need backup.

It was only a ten-minute drive to the house. Perry lived in a small one-bedroom home in the projects. He found in hard to believe that the security gig didn’t pay him enough to live in the suburbs, but there wasn’t a better place to hide a child. No one thought twice about a screaming and crying kid.

Or a gun shot.

The front door was open.

Jason pulled out his gun and moved cautiously through the door. “It’s over, Perry. All you have to do is come out and give us the location of the boy.”

There was a scuffle as a bullet rang out and Jason threw himself into the corner.

“You thought you were so clever,” Perry taunted him. “I knew she’d hired you. All she had to do was wire the money,” the security guard said. “And this would all have been over with.”

“Really? You murdered his father.”

“Timothy Myers ruined my life!” Perry said from the other room. “He didn’t recognize me. Do you know that? He drove past me every day and not even a flicker of recognition.”

Jason took a deep breath. “Perry, Myers paid for his actions. He gave money to every single client on the list. He bankrupted himself to make amends. Your father’s death haunted him that much.”

“My mother said I looked exactly like my father. If Thomas haunted Myers so much, why didn’t he recognize me?”

“He didn’t know that Moore had a son. No one did. You can’t fault him for something that he didn’t know!”

He was arguing with a mad man. Why was he even trying?

“My father killed himself,” Perry screamed. “I was ten!”

“And I’m sure that was hard. But Myers was not to blame. The police investigated him and cleared him. He had no idea that his partner was running a scam. And he had no idea that you even existed. If he had known, he would have taken care of you.” Jason shook his head. “Timothy was a good man.”

“He was a millionaire. I’ve seen his house. You can’t tell me that he gives all of his money away,” Perry snarled.

“He shut his consultation business down, Perry, and he didn’t keep a dime of profits. He had to borrow money to start Myers Enterprise, and he’s given away so much money to charity. Timothy Myers was a saint.
