Ken hated leaving the TV behind. He’d finally gotten the thing hooked up and the rabbit ears dialed into the local NBC affiliate, and then realized it was time to get to work. It was a shame too — all they were talking about was the grocery store, and the crime spree of the past few days. They were talking about him. The excitement of it made Ken almost forget how terrible the weekend was going to be once Paula dropped off the kids.

Tim and Lisa, Ken’s sullen teenagers, who respected him about as much as a dog respects a fire hydrant. It was going to be hell having them in the house, and the only way around it would be to kill them and their mother before the weekend started.

Ken lived close enough to walk to work, but he didn’t want anyone to know where he lived. That had been something he was sure of before he’d even gone shooting the first time; now he was doubly sure. He started up the Omni. She was ugly but oddly reliable for an old and rough-looking car, even if she was wearing more rust than paint. He pulled off onto the main drag, the Golden Arches growing quickly in the windshield. He sighed and rubbed the magic bullet through his pants. Living this boring life was the price he had to pay for being a man capable of anything.

Ken parked in the McDonald’s lot. Half of the spaces were full, and the drive-thru line stretched around the building. This was going to be bad. He tried to recall who else was on the schedule, but drew a blank past being aware that Mr.
