“Cassidy left me a message. I want to know what he was trying to tell me.” Michael wished he hadn’t sent the cab away so soon. “I know you hate me, and just for the record, I don’t like you very much either, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care who killed my cousin.”

“Your father killed him. I told the police that already. Cassidy went to find your father to see if he had any way of contacting you when you were away in the purgatories. He said that you’d once mentioned that Uncle Axe hung around the Sixth Street strip, and he was going there. He never came back.” Summer’s left hand hung limply over the doorknob. No wedding band, Michael noted. She hadn’t wasted any time getting the ring off, regardless of her recriminations.

Maybe she did have something to hide after all. Was she even alone in the house now, or did she have a new man hiding up in the guest room?

The living room behind her was a perfection of taupe upholstery and silk plants.

Michael had never been inside, though Cassidy had invited him a number of times. Regret welled up for the missed opportunity.

Deep down, he knew what Summer told him was right. He’d ignored and ditched Cassidy all their lives. He’d always thought it wouldn’t matter, that they didn’t like each other, when the fact was that it was he who avoided his cousin. And for no real reason except that Cassidy bored him.

“I’m sorry I said I didn’t like you,” Michael said. I’m sorry for your loss.” Summer managed a tight-lipped, “Thank you.”

“And you have no idea what he wanted to talk to me about?” Michael pushed a little further, since she seemed to have worn herself out.

“No, I really don’t,” Summer said. “He was worried about getting fired, but not getting killed.”

“Why was he worried about that?”

“He didn’t get along with his new boss very well.” Tension played across her face again.
