Tennyson

Even though Tennyson was loath to admit it, last night was the best night’s sleep he’d gotten in months. Their room facing the garden was so quiet. There were no barking dogs, no traffic sounds, no annoying neighbors, even if those neighbors were practically family. What Ten hated was that Kansas had given him the peace to sleep like this. Ronan too.

“Turn left here, Uncle Ronan,” Greeley said from the back seat of the truck. “It’s the third house down on the left. Brown ranch with green shutters.”

Ten almost laughed out loud. He’d spent the first seventeen years of his life in this tiny town, but somewhere along the line, Greeley had become their human GPS.

“I don’t see Boone’s car. What time did she say she was going to meet us here?” Fitzgibbon asked.

“She said she’d be here around 9am, after she got her kids off to school and her husband off to work,” Ronan said. “It’s a quarter of now, so this will give us a few minutes to get a game plan in order.”

“I’m gonna look for hidden evidence,” Greeley announced.

Ronan snorted. “Hidden evidence?”

Greeley hung his lanky arms over Ronan’s seat, as he peered into the front of the truck’s cab. “Everyone has secrets. Don’t you know that by now?”

Ronan’s mood sobered. “You think Shannon hid hers somewhere in this house?”

“I do. Like Dad said yesterday, there hasn’t been another murder committed in this town since Shannon’s. I don’t think that’s a coincidence. What are the main reason murders are committed, Uncle Ronan?” Greeley moved to grab his notebook.

Tennyson loved this curious side of the teenager. He didn’t know too many boys this age who would have jumped feet first into crime solving like this. They would be back at the hotel flirting with Aaron and working on their tans.

“Well, revenge, greed, sex, and power are the four big reasons. I think in Shannon’s case we can rule out high risk behaviors like gang affiliations and drugs. There was no mention about things like that in any of the interview transcripts or in the autopsy report.”

Ten could see Greeley nodding along and scribbling in his notebook as Ronan spoke. “So, we’d need to know what she did that someone would need to get revenge for, right? Who’d she betray and why? It would be the same thing for greed and sex. There’s a lot of betrayal going on in both of those things too. I’m not thinking power plays too much of a role here. Who’d she really have power over anyway? Her husband? Her daughter?”

“Those are good places to start, but the deputies already went through all of those things the first time around,” Ronan said gently.

“But here we are ten years later with no answers. That’s what makes me think there’s a journal hidden in this house somewhere. You always say that people get tired of keeping secrets, Uncle Ronan. What if Shannon didn’t tell anyone her secrets? What if she told her diary instead?”

Ronan grinned at the teenager in the rear-view mirror.
