Chapter 10
When Julie returned home, Clark Rivertonâs car was parked in the driveway. He and Luke were having a conversation in the living room. The girls were still having a water fight in the backyard, and at times the hose sprayed the picture window in the dining room. Julie was upset that Luke had not been paying close attention. Screams were echoing all around the neighborhood.
âNice to see you, Julie, Iâm Clark Riverton.â He said extending his hand. âIâm semi-retired, in charge of the violent crime task force here in San Diego County. Luke has asked me to come over and give you some advice, and shed some light on what has gone on so far.â
Annoyed, Julie spoke quickly, one eye on the mayhem in the backyard.
âThatâs fine, butââ she gave a stern look at Luke. âYouâre not paying attention to the girls. Do you know that kids and adults can drown in three inches of water? These girls are out there totally unsupervised.â
Luke got up, quickly checked out the window and turned back to her. She could tell he was going to disagree with her and wasnât happy with her criticism.
âJulie, Iâve been watching them all day. I took those fucking girls to the store, I bought a ton of specialty food, Iâve been cooking for them, Iâve been cleaning the fucking house until my hands are sore and raw, Iâve been working my ass off. I canât even take a nap because thereâs nobody here to watch them, andââ
âSo, whose fault is that?â she asked him.
âWhoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey folks,â Riverton started. âI donât want to intrude on anybodyâs feelings here, but I donât think this is a good time. I think Iâll come back later, on another day.â
âNo. You stay right here.â Both Julie and Luke said in unison.
Julie raised one additional question to her husband.
âAnd I thought we were supposed to go down to the school tonight or did you forget about that, Luke?â
He was getting more irritated. Still standing, with his hands on his hips he barked back at her, âI rescheduled it for tomorrow. You said it was going to be hard for you to make it tonight, so I rescheduled it and instead weâre meeting with Detective Riverton. Donât you think thatâs a higher priority?â
Just then they both heard somebody screaming in the backyard. Someone was in pain. Julie of course thought the worst.
âGod damn it.â She said as she raced through the living room and out through the kitchen door onto the patio. Luke and Riverton were left behind and had no time to respond before she was outside. All kinds of horrible thoughts went through her mind as she searched the yard and the patio and the pool and discovered that Amy had fallen down, and skinned her knee, red blood flowing all over the place. She mumbled under her breath, âWhereâs a fucking medic when you need one?â
She looked up at the living room window and screamed, âLuke, get out here and bring your kit.
