CHAPTER TWENTY

KENNEDY KEPT THE ‘KOJAK’ LIGHT FLASHING AND SIREN SCREAMING ALL THE WAY TO THE INTERSECTION IN FRONT OF HER APARTMENT BUILDING.

The fast ride caused enough of a breeze to dry the sweat on her body. Yes. Life was bearable again. She parked in her assigned parking space in front of her apartment building.

It was a decent older building, clean and updated regularly. The security was mediocre, but being a cop, she provided her own protection. Her neighbors were fairly laid back, most were senior citizens and retired. They minded their own business and, at the same time managed to keep an eye out for her. Grandpa’s doing, no doubt. The man seems to have connections everywhere.

Walking across the hot pavement, Kennedy immediately noticed something different about her building. She just wasn’t sure what.

She let her hand rest on her holstered Sig Saur. “Jeez, you’re a damn cop, trained to notice details. What’s wrong here?”

It hit her. “The dried up grass is gone.” The dead lawn had been replaced with a rock garden. She relaxed the hand hovering over the Sig. The building’s owner had finally given up trying to keep the grass alive. With the drought and soaring temperatures, there was a ban on landscape watering. The city was encouraging residents to switch to more natural landscaping that didn’t need frequent watering.
