Thursday and Friday in the office were spent mostly ignoring Milo’s voicemails and texts and taking calls from the receptionist whenever a new birthday package for Luke arrived downstairs. Most of the gifts were from people who were sending their best wishes and regrets that they couldn’t make it to the birthday bash on Saturday. One package the size of a shoebox caught my eye. The return address had no name and a San Francisco address.

It was my job to open all of Luke’s packages, but something told me this was something he should open himself. I knocked on his office door and it swung open immediately.

“You have another package,” I said, carrying the heavy cardboard box toward him.

“What is it? Another set of golf balls.”

“I didn’t open it. It’s from San Francisco.”

He looked up from his tablet and eyed the box. “Just set it on the desk. I’ll open it later.”

I laid the box on the desk, but I made no move to leave. “Are you sure you don’t want to open it now?”

“Brina, it’s from my sister. She sends me something every year. It’s not a big deal.”

I shrugged. “As you wish, Mr. Maxwell.”

As I turned to leave, I heard him sigh. “All right. You can open it.”

I skittered back to the desk and stared at the box. He reached into his pocket and slid his car key across the desk. I punched the key through the tape and slid the key along the seam.

“You are much too eager. My sister does not give me exciting gifts. It’s probably a box of cigars.”

I lifted the flaps on the top of the box and peered inside. Whatever it was, it was wrapped in a soft, red blanket. I slipped my hands inside and lifted it out. It was almost as heavy as a gallon of milk. I set the blanket-wrapped object on the desk and looked to Luke. He nodded for me to proceed and I lifted the blanket away.

It looked like a wooden cigar humidor, but it felt much too heavy to contain cigars.

“Can I open it?”

He nodded again and I lifted the lid. My heart stopped. Nestled into the molded velvet case was a gun. He quickly slammed the lid closed and slid the case to the other side of the desk, away from me.

“It’s not from my sister. Sorry about that.”

“Who is it from?”

He shook his head. “Probably my mom. It’s my dad’s gun. He was a cop for thirty-two years. That’s why he got so pissed when he caught me smoking.”

“Why would she send you your dad’s gun?”

“Brina, can you call Mary Kingman’s secretary and schedule a meeting for next Thursday. I need to discuss some—”

“Please don’t change the subject.”

He leaned back in his chair and glared at the wooden box. “My dad is sick.”

“How sick?”

“I don’t know. He doesn’t want me to see him and my mom was pretty far down the path of denial last time I spoke to her. I think this means she might have found her way back to reality.
