“Are you sure about this?” Aunt Dee asked while we sat in the kitchen of my childhood home. In the two weeks since I released Cole of the burden my dad had put on him, I had moved back home.

“Yes. This is home, this is where I belong.”

“What did the Realtor say about your apartment?”

“She’s certain she’ll find a buyer because the location is prime.”

“I didn’t want to influence your decision, but I think your dad would love that you were taking over the place.”

“Me too.”

I hadn’t shared with Aunt Dee what I had learned about Dad’s death, wasn’t going to because if it all turned out to be nothing, making her feel as I did wasn’t right. But I was curious about Carter Stein and the pale-hair man, especially after seeing them together.

“What do you know about Carter Stein?”

“Not much. He’s a neighborhood kid that hit it big. Why?”

“Just curious. I saw him a couple of weeks ago and it reminded me of the time he came into Dad’s garage.”

“Really? Carter was at the garage? I guess that’s not surprising considering how fast he bought the garage when Dylan put it up for sale.”

Knowing now that pale-hair worked for Stein had all the pieces just slipping into place like a puzzle. Pale-hair attempted to intimidate Dad by paying too much attention to me. Intimidating was one thing, murder was another, but was it possible that Carter got impatient waiting for Dad to come around to selling him the garage and had something to do with his death? As much as I tried to talk myself out of that possibility, I couldn’t.

Aunt Dee left after dinner and I spent some time Googling Carter Stein. Had I not been entertaining the idea that he had a hand in my dad’s death, I’d admire him. He came from nothing, literally had no family, no money, moved in and out of foster homes and now he was the richest man in the city. He might also be a murdering psycho.

As tempting as it was to contact Bruce about Stein, he had influence and I didn’t imagine a civil servant would be really keen on digging into a man as powerful as Stein. However, I did know of someone who was arrogant, entitled and loved to control his universe. Maybe Kevin could do a little digging. As much as I didn’t want to talk with him, I actually had a need for a private investigator because I wanted to know more about Carter and his connection to my dad. Reaching for my phone, I called Kevin.

“Mia, I wasn’t expecting to hear from you again. Are you okay?”

“I want to hire you.”

“What?”

“I’d like to hire you to look into Carter Stein and his connection to my dad.”

Silence, so profound it was uncomfortable. When Kevin spoke again, I heard a bit of fear in his voice. “Carter Stein? Do you know who that is?”

“Yeah, the man who bought my dad’s garage.”

“Maybe you should go to the police.
