Chapter 5

A Halloween Haunting

Halloween was always a favorite holiday in the Bonerati house. Jackie had sentimental memories of the kids dressed in their costumes while her late-husband, Joey, spent most of the day creeping around wearing a Scream mask trying to scare her. He was quite a joker and had an interesting sense of humor. Those family moments would always remain close to her heart.

After the last piece of candy was given away to the steady stream of trick-or-treaters in their gated neighborhood, Jackie dragged herself upstairs with heavy feet and stood in the doorway of Daniel’s office.

“I’m really tired, Danny. Do you mind if I turn in early tonight?”

Daniel looked up from his computer screen and smiled. “I’ll tuck you in right after I finish reading these documents that Roger gave me. Weren’t the kids adorable in their costumes tonight?”

Jackie nodded wearily and headed into their bedroom. She wasn’t sure if it was fatigue or nerves from the investigation, but she was feeling more jittery than usual. After undressing quickly and slipping into a long T-shirt, she washed her face, brushed her teeth and fluffed the pillows before sliding under the covers. Pushing the button on the television remote, she decided to search for a classic Halloween movie. The cable movie channels usually offered something spooky for the holiday, and she fondly remembered watching them with the kids when Joey traveled. Her eyelids were getting heavy, but she kept them open long enough to watch the first scene of her favorite movie, Psycho.
