THERE WAS A knock on the door. He could have cussed at the interruption. He’d already bandaged himself but had had to change it out twice already. The first had bled through his shirt; the second had pulled uncomfortably.

“Honey! You’ll never believe what I just heard!” His wife’s voice was excited, pitched high and vibrating.

He could ruin her fun, tell her he had a good idea of what she’d just heard, but that wasn’t part of his plan. So he used the voice he reserved for her and called back through his closed office door.

“I’m on a call, dear. Give me a few minutes and I’ll come talk, okay?”

She wasn’t a fan of that but, to his surprise, had been a good wife when it came to his privacy. If he told her to not disturb him without knocking on his office door first, she didn’t. If he told her he couldn’t talk right then, she waited.

Just as she did now.

“Okay. I’ll be in the kitchen when you’re through.”

He heard her pad away and continued to check on his cuts. Then he looked at the bruise on his arm that would only get nastier.

He couldn’t believe Detective Gray had hit him with an umbrella.

He also couldn’t believe he’d left his gun behind.

As for the woman who had been shot by accident...

Well, nothing he could do about that now.

So he finished up and thought about his options. He became angry and then he cooled.

He was the smart one.

The patient one.

Then why did you attack the detective? You could have just let him go.

It was a question that had been bothering him since he’d escaped.

But one impulsive decision wasn’t going to affect him. He wouldn’t let it.

Impulsive or not, patient or not, there was somewhere else that he needed to be. Something he needed to fix.

Because that’s what he did.

He fixed mistakes, especially ones that others made.

And, boy, was there one he needed to fix sooner rather than later.

For now, he checked that his shirt covered his injuries, was thankful for that bit of good luck, and left the office for his kitchen.

His wife was on him in seconds.

“That woman who got shot? The Granger lady? She died! Isn’t that awful?”

She grabbed his hand and squeezed.

He squeezed it back.

“That is awful, isn’t it?”
