Sam stood on the sidewalk and stared up at the Binghams’ house.

There was light coming from a window of the second floor, and for a moment it seemed as if something moved in the shadows.

Did he imagine that?

Sam’s mind was a jumble now as he headed to the Binghams’ walkway and proceeded up the two stairs to the porch and the large, dark windows.

He put his face right against the glass. There was a bluish glow coming from the aquarium in the den, but otherwise nothing could be seen but the vague shapes of furniture.

Sam moved to the front door, and there he thought he smelled broiled steak. He stepped back and the smell disappeared.

But if he stood right next to the door, by the little sliding peephole, the smell returned.

Had someone been cooking inside? No burglar would broil a steak.

The Binghams had to have returned early. That was the only explanation.

Down the street a car suddenly turned the corner and, as it drove past, the headlights brightened the area and Sam could see a silver sedan parked at the curb one house down.

That car had California license plates.

California.

When Clarence had hauled them around like bruised fruit, they’d spent a lot of time in that state.

The thought of his father pulled Sam away from the Binghams.

It brought him back to who he really was. The damaged son of a crazy person. He didn’t belong here.

Sam stepped off the porch onto the walkway and then headed down the sidewalk.

But when he was at the end of the block, ready to cross the street, something made him turn and look over his shoulder.

That was when he knew for certain that his messed-up mind was shattered.

Because there was now a figure on the Binghams’ front porch.

A body stood in silhouette.

And even from almost a block away, that thin, tall man was recognizable as his father.
