Chapter 5

Mike glanced across the courtyard when he heard a door open. A guy he only knew as Sage Crewe stepped onto the porch, bending to pick up his newspaper. He saw Mike and waved. Mike waved back before unlocking his door to go inside.

He tossed his suit coat on the sofa, thought better of it, and walked up to his bedroom to hang it up. Stripping down to his briefs, he went downstairs again to make breakfast. Not that he was hungry, but he knew from experience if he didn’t eat, he’d wake up in the middle of the day starving, and getting back to sleep would be iffy at best.

After eating, he took a fast shower then fell into bed. All the while, his mind went over the murder of Jon Watts.
