Detective Wilson answered immediately. “Thought you’d like to know we traced the SUV used by the shooters. The owner had been out of town a couple of days, but reported it stolen on return. A neighbor reported seeing a nondescript man dressed in a dark hoodie near it the day prior to what we believe was the theft day, but so far that’s a dead end.


“We also picked up a partial thumbprint from your mailbox and a motorcycle tire track not far from your mailbox—”


Yes!Bond said to himself as his heart rate kicked up.


“Wasn’t enough of the thumb print for a match, but O’Shea has security videos of the motorcycle whizzing past your house several times in the days before the snake was left. Unfortunately, the bike had no license plate. We do know the tire’s make, but that’s not much help either. It’s a common one used on older Hondas.”
