As she drove away, Virginia considered how much it seemed that Cindy didn’t want Virginia—or maybe anyone—to see inside her house. And if Cindy didn’t want her to see inside, Virginia decided that was exactly what she should do next.

The drive back to Jack’s and Stephanie’s house was an internal battle.

You don’t like strangers snooping around your house, either. Or you didn’t, back when you had a house of your own.

But Cindy was being shady about it!

Shady, or just a woman who has twice now been harassed by you about her recently deceased husband and is getting tired of it?

Shady, for sure. And even if she wasn’t, that was Russ’s home, too. What might he have hidden in there?

By the time she’d pulled into the driveway, Virginia had fully made up her mind to go back there. Her thoughts kept going back to the phones hidden in a hollowed-out book in Russ’s hotel room, and she told herself there was a good chance she could uncover a clue in his home that might give her a lead into who might have wanted him dead.

She went back the next evening, pulling up to the house at ten minutes after six and praying that wherever Cindy had gone to meet the person she’d been on the phone with the day before, she’d be there for a while. The sun was only just beginning to set, a long summertime evening still stretching before the town, and Virginia wished she had the cover of darkness for this.

She first walked right up to the front door and jiggled the handle. It was locked, as she’d expected. She looked to the two windows at the front of the house, curtains still drawn to conceal the rooms behind them, but decided against trying those. Even if one was unlocked, if she was going to try to enter via a window, she figured it shouldn’t be in full view of the entire street.

Virginia made her way around the side of the house, sticking first to the side where tall bushes shielded it from the neighboring home. She approached one of the windows, placing the heels of her palms on the panes of glass and trying to slide them upward. No luck.

When the back door was just as secured as all the other points of entry, Virginia dug into the bottom of her purse for a safety pin, bent it, and shoved it into the lock like she knew what she was doing. After three minutes of franticly wiggling the pin around in the lock, she had to admit that she had no idea what she was doing and needed to find a different approach.

She eyed the back windows. On one side of the door were two small windows, but on the other side was a large bay window. It was quite high off the ground, but at least Virginia knew she’d be able to fit through it. Before she could talk herself out of it, Virginia grabbed a small landscaping rock from Cindy’s garden and threw it as hard as she could muster at the window.
