ALBERT EASED ONTO a worn chair in Erik’s small bedroom. Before his son got sick, Albert had used the room as an office to pay bills and keep his finances in order. He wanted Erik in the master bedroom, but he refused.

In the shadows, Erik’s face looked gray and frightfully thin.

“Anything I can get you? Ice chips? Some soup?”

His son glanced at the window. “I’m good, Dad. Feel decent today.” He scooted himself up in the bed. “Would you mind opening the blinds? Feels like a tomb in here.”

Albert blinked back a tear and stumbled on his way to the window.

“You’re drinking a lot. I smell it on you constantly.”

“Just a little to soothe my nerves.”

“My fault. You need something to help you through this. Sorry to have mentioned it.”

Albert sighed. “It’s all right.” He adjusted the light filtering into the room. “That okay?”

“Perfect. You know, I’ve been thinking about Nathan. We had some good times growing up. Miss him. Sure hate what happened.”

Albert stuck his hands in his pockets. “I don’t remember anything worth holding on to about the man.”

“Dad, sit by me. Let’s talk about this. Nathan’s gone, and I hate the bitterness in you.”

Albert nodded and found his old spot on the chair. “What do you want me to say?”

Erik closed his eyes. “That you forgive him. I have.”

“Not sure I can put aside the past.”

“Think about it, will you? I don’t want my life to end knowing you’re bitter about Nathan. I’ve let go.”

Albert swallowed hard. The nagging thought persisted . . . the one keeping him up at night. He’d contracted Hanna to hack the pacemaker, but then he realized Nathan’s death wouldn’t solve a thing. In fact, it made matters worse. While Nathan was alive, Albert could continue to talk to him, make him see his negligence was sending Erik to an early grave. All Albert wanted was the money owed to his son to pay for the treatments in Germany.

“Dad, Nathan left a widow and two sons. The situation is sad for Sally but even worse for those boys who won’t have a father. I’ve always had you, and they will have no one.”

“I’ll think about it.”

A chill swept through him again. Could he have been drunk and given the go-ahead to execute the hack—execute Nathan—and not remember?
