Laura Brent circled round to the back of the beach house singing a familiar tune. The noon day sun felt warm and inviting on this late October day. "Must be nice to have money," she thought as she searched the sky for a cloud. This family would never see another cloud or another sunny day. The boys from the morgue carried the last of the children to the ambulance.

His crime, a breach of contract to love, honor and protect. Laura sidelined her rage as tears stung her eyes. "We found the note." Dave read it aloud, I won't be poor again. "Glad I'm not rich." "Me too." "I need a drink," Dave said. "Make mine a double."
