When Madison returned to the Dedham home, she went straight upstairs to her room. She wanted to plug into her computer and see if she could find anything on Sylvia Hannaford.

Once upstairs, she noticed the door at the end of the hallway was open. It was the door to the master suite. Thinking Doug and Dodie were up already, she went to the doorway and knocked. When she didn't get an answer, she stepped inside the dark room.

A gasp escaped Madison's lips before she could clasp a hand over her mouth to muffle the scream. On the bed were the Dedhams-side by side cadavers. Doug was on his side, one arm thrown across Dodie. Dodie was on her back, her hands folded ladylike across her chest like a relief on a sarcophagus. Her eyes were closed, but Doug's were open, staring without seeing. Dodie wore a nightgown; Doug, pajamas. Neither were covered by a sheet or blanket. Notwithstanding their spray tans, they were deathly white and waxy. And stiff.

"What are you doing in here?" a voice behind her demanded. Madison jumped. It was Pauline, standing in the doorway. In one arm she cradled folded laundry. The hand of her free arm was glued to her thick hip in annoyance. "You were told not to come in here."

"I ... I ... ," Madison stammered, her voice shaking. "I saw the door open and thought they might be up." She looked back at the bed. "They're dead," she whispered, a catch in her voice.
