It turned out that the address Ray provided them with was just a ten minute drive further from the city. It was amazing how quaint the area could become if you drove away from the downtown core. The street was full of small bungalow-style homes, and in the semi-darkness they could see the park at the end, just off a cat-walk.

“Maybe he wants to talk to her in the park?” Ian suggested, craning his neck around so he could better observe the surroundings. The engine was off and it was so quiet Kendra could hear him breathing.

She peered at the sheaf of paper Ian had given her earlier, with the address on it. “Maybe his family lives here. Perhaps a helpful aunt?”

“Maybe it’s for private marriage counselling.” Ian smirked. Kendra was about to giggle when she saw Linda’s car pull up. That’s when Kendra noticed that Ray hadn’t arrived yet.

“What the hell is this?” Linda said as she reached the car. “Ray isn’t even here? Is this some kind of joke?” She opened Ian’s car door and slipped into the back seat, rubbing her hands together seemingly for warmth.

“How are you doing, Linda?” Ian asked, bending his neck around so he could see her with his peripheral vision.

“I’m fine. I’d be better if I knew what the heck was going on.” She was nonplussed. “Who lives here anyway?”

“Whoever they are they don’t like it here much.” Kendra said, pointing at the for sale sign staked into the front lawn.

“Well, I’m waiting five minutes and then I’m leaving.” Linda stated firmly.

Neither Ian nor Kendra responded. A minute later, another car pulled up. “Who is that?” Linda asked, and then recognized Ray’s face as he peered at her from the front passenger window. He offered her a tight smile and bowed his head slightly. She gave him a weak wave.

“Are you going to be okay?” Kendra asked, opening the door.

“I guess I’ll have to be.” Linda said, as they all exited Ian’s car.

The woman who stepped out of the car immediately came over and introduced herself. She was tall with short brown hair and an expensive-looking overcoat.

“I’m Gail.” She gave everyone a handshake.

As she reached Linda, the hand shake was reciprocated and then Linda craned her neck over at Ray. “What’s going on, Ray? Why did you drag us all out here?” she demanded.

The expression on his face said he expected the question. Ray stepped toward Linda with his phone in his hand and showed her the display as he stood beside her. Scrolling down with his finger on the screen, he touched a spot and looked at Linda. “Do you recognize this?”

She nodded. “Yeah, those were the messages I found before I threw you out.” Her voice was tinged with veiled anger, like if she wasn’t overly curious at the moment, she would punch him in the face.

He touched the screen once more and glanced at his wife. “You see the name? That’s Gail.” He pointed at the brunette now known as Gail.
