“Shouldn’t we wait until morning?” Patrick asked for the third time. Just like before, Pru and I ignored his pleading face. “It’s been fifteen years. Surely a day won’t matter?”

“Why should I grant him the luxury of a day?” Pru cried. “The man already stole fifteen years of happiness from me. I want to shove the evidence in his face and let him squirm.”

“But you’ve waited fifteen years. That’s my point.”

“Because I didn’t know.” Pru slapped the back of the headrest, making Patrick yelp and lean forward. “He doesn’t deserve the courtesy of an appointment or a delay until morning.”

“If we wait until tomorrow, what would that achieve?” I said, backing her. “At least if we confront him now, Andrew might be satisfied and turn back into an echo rather than a deranged poltergeist.”

“That would be lovely.”

Patrick pulled to the side of the road, checking the house numbers. “What if that doesn’t happen?”

Pru stared out the window, giving the glass a fleeting touch with her fingertips. “You mean, he continues to be a wreck?”

“That or…”

“He goes away entirely?” She stiffened her back. “There’s only one way to find out.”

“We should call the police. They won’t like us coming out here in the middle of the night, yelling accusations.”

I pointed to the correct letterbox. “We don’t work for the police, and they had their chance and did nothing.”

“But they could process the evidence correctly. He could be prosecuted.”

Pru shook her head. “Just because we know what went down doesn’t mean they’d ever prosecute him.”

“And that doesn’t worry you?” Patrick parked the car and turned in his seat. “If they wouldn’t lay charge then we shouldn’t attack him either.”

“I’m not going to attack him.” Pru stuck out her lower lip, her nostrils flaring. “And just because something can’t be proven in court doesn’t mean that man isn’t the reason my Andrew is dead.”

She opened the door and tumbled onto the footpath. “He needs to know that I know what he did, even if nobody else ever cares. Andrew deserves that much.”

Patrick and I caught up to her just as Pru lifted her hand to knock. Although I could see my partner was still struggling with the decision, he shut his mouth and stood behind her in a show of solidarity.

“This better be good. The masked singer is just about to—” Solomon broke off as he recognised Pru, his face collapsing into confusion as he nodded to me and Patrick. “What’d you want?”

“You killed Andrew.” Pru stepped forward, poking a finger straight into the man’s face. “We know you swapped out his medication for laxatives in some childish joke. Well, that prank was the reason he undid his belt, swerved off the road, and crashed his car.”

“Hey… I…” Solomon held up his hands and took a step backward, which Pru immediately took advantage of, pushing him farther inside. “I never meant—”

“I don’t care what you meant! Andrew died and it’s all your fault.”

“No. I…” His eyes pleaded with me for help, then turned to Patrick.
