ERIC AND KEITH WORKED their way around the perimeter of the yard until they were close enough to talk in low whispers.

“I didn’t see a thing along the road.” Keith said, when Eric told him about the two he’d already taken out. “I wish I’d been here instead, so I could have made those bastards pay for what they did to Vic myself.”

“I understand how you feel, Keith. They did pay though. I don’t think there are any more of them. I haven’t seen or heard anything from the house.”

“Let’s go ahead and clear it then. We need to see if there’s any sign of Curt and his wife. I’ve got a bad feeling about what we’ll find though. From what you said, I think they were here because they wanted that boat.”

Eric let his brother cross the yard first, while he covered him from the woods until Keith reached the front porch and flattened himself against the wall, adjacent to the doorway. Then Eric moved in and breached the door with a powerful front kick. As soon as he was in, he could see that the house had been thoroughly ransacked, especially the kitchen, where the intruders had piled all the food items they could find onto the dining table. Keith found Curt and his wife on the floor of the master bedroom. Both had been shot in the head, most likely the afternoon or evening before.

“Murdered in cold blood! They didn’t have to kill them to clean out their house and take their boat, but they did it anyway. Damn, this is getting old, Eric! I want to see those bodies. I remember where I saw that old truck now. I think I may know who at least one of them is.”

“So, you think they might have been locals?”

“Yep. If it’s the guy that used to drive that truck, he’s been in and out of jail a few times over the years for drugs, burglary, assault, and I don’t know what else. I haven’t seen him around in a long time, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been lying low somewhere.”

“Maybe that’s why they opened fire on us then as soon as they saw your boat; thought it was the law already onto them for what they’d done here.”

“Yeah, you could be right. At first I thought it might have been the rest of that little gang that tried to kill you, since they’re cop-haters and all, but they’re probably long gone from the parish by now. Scumbags like this guy have been here all along, probably robbing and killing no telling how many people since we haven’t been able to effectively enforce the law anymore.”

When they reached the dock, Eric jumped in and grabbed the body that was floating nearby, rolling it over so Keith could see what was left of the man’s face. Eric’s rifle bullet had seriously disfigured it, but Keith recognized the perpetrator by his thick beard and neck tattoos.

“That’s him all right. His name was Maurice Lawson.
