Connley was found by Larkspur officials

patrolling the area. "We're putting the

curfew back into effect. Nine o'clock.

We're working as hard as we can to

keep Larkspur safe."

Coroner Peter Friedman confirmed that

Connley was indeed a victim of some

animal, but refused further comment.

There was more, but Dare stopped reading and put the paper down on the table.

Julia was walking her father to the door.

"Have a good day," Julia told him.

Dare just couldn’t finish the article. She cradled her head in her arms, the dull ache in her head intense.

Tommy Connley, who had chased her around the playground in fifth grade. Tom Connley, who had asked her to prom in their junior year. Tommy Connley, who had spent countless summers with them as kids, who had played football with her brother.

Tommy Connley was dead.

Why? That was the big question, but it eluded her. Who was more concrete. If she could find out who, then maybe that would lead to why.

Shane.

She would have liked to put the blame on him. Shane had been with Nick the night he was killed, she knew it. Her heart wanted to convict him, but her mind, if she let 140

it run its course, led her on another train of thought. Shane Curtis could no more have killed her brother than she could have.

The newspapers reported it was the Clinton Grove Cat, but she couldn’t believe that either. Will Cougar had stated the obvious— cats can't open doors. And another thing—dogs and other small pets had started to disappear around town—Mr. Cooper’s dog, Cody, hadn’t been the only one. For authorities, this confirmed to them it was definitely a bobcat.

But something seemed wrong to her about that theory, and she wasn’t sure what or why. She just knew there had now been four murders in a month, and still no one was being held responsible. Four dead people, one of them her brother, one of them her once-boyfriend, and she knew nothing.

Nothing except…Shane had seen something. Or knew something. Not only because Nick had told her he was going to be with Shane, but because of the look in Shane's eyes when he talked to her.

Shane knows something, she thought, and maybe the rest of his little gang knows something too. She had no power over them, but she knew she could get Shane to tell her—one way or another.

A bitterly cold wind swept leaves from the trees and they fluttered down toward the coffin. Dare watched them, unable to look at the casket itself. The Connleys were huddled together, Dare didn’t know if for warmth or comfort, but guessed it was a little of both.

She pulled her winter coat around her. Autumn was fast becoming winter. A bitter taste for vengeance filled her mouth. Dare closed her eyes for a moment, listening—

quiet weeping, the rustle of leaves above her head, the dull pounding in her ears. Four people dead. Dare opened her eyes, filled with bitterness.

Someone has to pay for this.

She looked at the coffin, one that looked like her brother's had, and she fought tears.
