Shelly knelt down and touched the oily spot on the driveway. She rubbed her fingers together. "We must have just missed him."
"How do you know that's his?" Bryce put his gun back in the holster.
"Have you seen that clunker he drives? It's older than you." Shelly stood up.
"I'm not that much older than you." Bryce looked around. "We should check the house anyway." He walked up to the door.
Shelly shrugged. "Okay but I'm not going through the window this time."
"The door is open." Bryce pulled his gun. "Stay there."
"Bryce…" Shelly sighed.
Bryce stopped just inside the door. "Shelly, you were wrong. He's still here."
Shelly came in behind Bryce. She groaned when she saw the dead body on the floor. "Damn. He was our only lead."
"You call it in and I'll check the house. We may get lucky." Bryce raised his gun and started checking the rooms.
