EIGHTEEN
An hour later, everyone has seen the nest behind the furnace. Everyone has come to the same undeniable conclusion. We are dealing with the family tragedy of addiction.
Still, weâre cautious. Jin grabs a spade he spotted in the garden and brings it down, apparently as a potential weapon. Then we all search the basement, just to be absolutely certain thereâs no chance Brodie crawled behind a stack of chairs and died of an overdose. He didnât. He was here, and now heâs gone.
âIâm very sympathetic to Mrs. Kilmerâs situation,â Cirillo says as we head back upstairs. âBut her son has a key to this house, and thatâs very troubling. I had a younger brother who suffered from addiction. Thankfully, he pulled through, but there was a time when we couldnât leave him alone in the house, and not just because we feared an overdose. He stole everything he could get his hands on.â
âAnd weâre leaving laptops just lying about,â I say.
âNot only that but ⦠We donât know this young man and how desperate he is. We could be in danger of losing more than valuable but replaceable tech.â
âAre you saying we should leave?â Shania sneaks a look my way. âObviously, itâs up to Nicola, but Iâm willing to take whatever precautions are necessary.â
âPrecautions should be enough,â Cirillo says. âWeâll speak to Mrs. Kilmer and be compassionate but firm. Weâll lock the doors and put something behind them to alert us to entry. Weâll check all the windows to be sure they are closed and locked. Nicola and Shania should share a room, if thatâs all right with them.â
I glance at Shania, who nods. Sheâs obviously eager to stay. Weâre close to getting proof of an afterlife, and thatâs what sheâs here for.
âCan anyone think of other steps we can take?â Cirillo asks.
âIâll think on it,â Jin says. âIâm really hoping, though, that a talk with Mrs. Kilmer will do the trick.â
âIt should.â
