Darkling I Listen
“Window glass lay in shards on the front porch. The metal mesh of the screen door hung in tattered strips from the frame. Great blotches of red paint streamed down the outside walls, like the blood that continued to drizzle out of Brandon's nose.
Standing in the open doorway, looking down the center hallway of Henry's house, Brandon barely listened to the conversation between Deputies Conroy and Sebastian, and Henry, who sat on the porch swing, face pale, body shaking. Alyson sat at his side wit...h her arm around his shoulders as she attempted to comfort him.
Bernie remained close in her wheelchair. Henry had wrapped a blanket around her to ward off the escalating cold. All Brandon could think in that moment was thank God she's oblivious. She would have been horrified and heartbroken at what had become of her home in the last few hours.
As fury crawled in the pit of his stomach, he tried to take a breath. First Dillman, and now this. The best night of his life had been turned into a fiasco—worse, a nightmare.MoreLess
