Oak Hill Cemetery, 2:33 p.m.

Dan strode through the gates of Birmingham’s oldest cemetery. Many of the city’s pioneers were laid to rest here, including Charles Linn. The park where the press conference had been held last Friday was named after him. Spears apparently wanted to remind Dan that he’d missed his opportunity there.

“What’s going on, Dan?” Harold Black hurried to catch up with him. “A tech from the crime scene unit is on the way.”

“Shortly after you left my office I received a text from Spears. He said there was something here that would tell me how this story is going to end.” He glanced at Harold. “I guess he doesn’t want to keep me in suspense.”

“Have you called Gant?”

“Not yet. Let’s see what we’re dealing with first.” There was no need to have the FBI over here until they had confirmation this was more than a wild goose chase.

Harold surveyed the headstones, statues, and mausoleums that dotted the hillside. “What is that monster up to now?”

“We’ll soon know.” Dan paused long enough to find his bearings. He hadn’t been in this cemetery in ages. He spotted his destination. “There. The Linn Mausoleum.”

“Did he give you any indication of what we’re looking for?”

“No. Just that it was here.” They reached the mausoleum but if Spears had left anything it wasn’t readily apparent.

Dan turned all the way around, scanning the hillside. “It could be a setup.”

“I considered that,” Black said as he, too, looked around. “I figured you would be too angry to think of it before showing up here.”

The uniforms came into view. Cops were heading their way from every direction.

“Thanks.” Dan railed at Jess all the time for doing this very thing. He’d acted on impulse, without thought as to the danger. “Let’s have a look around the mausoleum.”

Harold went one way and Dan took the other, circling the stone house that stood as a monument to one man’s contributions to the Magic City. On the other side of the mausoleum, beneath the shade of a big oak tree, was a headstone. This one wasn’t aged by time and the elements.

“Oh my,” Harold murmured. “I think we’re going to need a forklift to take this chunk of evidence to the lab.”

The date of birth was chiseled into the stone, month, day and year. Where the date of death should have been were two words: Very Soon.

The name inscribed in large, sweeping letters across the front was Daniel T. Burnett.
