When I reached our home, I sped into our alley, stopped at the trash cans, and entered the license plate number into my phone.

Earlier that morning, when I was out for my run, I’d hidden my backpack behind our trash can. I removed latex gloves from the pack and put them on. Holding the straps of the pack in my left hand, I lifted the latch on Lorenz’s back gate and slipped into his yard.

My first task was to locate the phone line power box at the corner of his house. When I entered the house, the security system would go off. I didn’t want a phone call going to the security company, so I had to disconnect that line. I unscrewed the two screws which held the panel in place. After putting it on the ground, I disconnected the phone line and replaced the panel but didn’t tighten down the screws all the way.

I had been in Lyndell’s home enough times that I knew her security control box was hidden in the front entry closet, the same place as ours. The box was about fifty feet from the back door. Once I opened that door, I would have exactly thirty seconds to run to the closet, pry open the face to the control box, and unscrew the power line to the system.

Hurrying up Lorenz’s back patio stairs, I stopped at the outside box and punched in Lyndell’s security code. It didn’t work. I tried her key. It didn’t work either.

I inserted the electric lock pick gun into the door lock and flipped it on. It whirred and shook in my hand for several seconds and stopped. A simple twist of the torque wrench and the lock clicked open.

As I stepped into Lorenz’s kitchen, a loud explosion rocked the neighborhood. The kitchen windows shook from the blast’s shock wave.

No! Not now!
