Sage Gardens Cozy Mystery Book 3

Chapter 1

Morning in Sage Gardens was usually a peaceful time, filled with tweeting birds and cheerful residents waving to one another. In such a beautiful environment it was easy to be eager to greet the day. Although many of the people who lived in Sage Gardens were early risers they took care not to disturb those that weren't. Lawnmowers, radios, and loud noise in general were kept for after a reasonable hour.

When the blaring siren of a police car shattered the comfortable silence of a community awakening, it was a surprise. It had knocked Eddy right out of his half-asleep half-awake state. Out of habit Eddy launched out of his bed ready to deal with whatever crime was taking place. It was only as he pulled on his shoes and a t-shirt that he recalled he was no longer an active police officer. Still the sirens drew him out the door of his villa and onto the lush, green grass of his front lawn.

As Eddy reached the walkway a police car blazed right past him. Eddy's heart pounded as he looked in the direction that the car was travelling. Its flashing lights and blaring siren were so out of place amidst the pink flamingos and garden gnomes that decorated the front yards of the villas. He wondered what might have happened. It was clear that whatever it was had to be quite serious.

With his attention sharpened by the sights and sounds Eddy watched as another police car blew through the entrance of Sage Gardens. Despite his concern for what had happened, he felt a rush of adrenaline flood him. He smiled as every nerve in his body stood on edge, prepared to protect or attack as needed.

When Eddy was a policeman every single time he went out on a call and got to flip on the lights and the siren, his entire body would react to the urgency of the situation. It wasn't exactly a thrill, as many times the situation that he was racing towards was dire, but it did make his adrenaline pump because he had to be prepared for anything. He still got that feeling, even forty years later.

Eddy watched as the car raced up the hill to the villas that overlooked the distant highway. He knew a few of the residents that lived in that area. He could see that an ambulance and a police car were already parked on the hill. Eddy presumed that they must have approached earlier from the other side of Sage Gardens as he hadn’t heard their sirens.

Eddy was thinking about what might have occurred. His thoughts were soon distracted by the sound of wheels against the sidewalk. He turned around with a smile as he knew it would be Abe. Abe was one of the few residents that was both in a wheelchair and yet still active. Some of the wheelchair-bound residents spent more time in their villa and only emerged for trips or transport to a doctor's appointment.
