killed Samuel because he threatened Anna.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy not call police?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd tell them what? That my biological father, respected business owner Samuel Whitmore, was threatening me over a thirty-year-old trafficking ledger while the physician who raised my half-brother had falsified half the records?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ortiz said, \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>David looked at her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have more faith in systems than I do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat doesn\u2019t justify murder.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His voice softened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt explains it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I hated that part of me understood.<\/p>\n<p>Not approved.<\/p>\n<p>Understood.<\/p>\n<p>David looked at me again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSamuel deserved worse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I took another step.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t get to tell me what he deserved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy? Because he raised you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>David laughed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s the difference between us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou got his ordinary face.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I frowned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe came to your baseball games. He taught you engines. He yelled when you scratched tools. He gave you Christmas presents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>David\u2019s voice became harder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got envelopes of cash and warnings never to call him Dad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I had no answer.<\/p>\n<p>He continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou remember a father. I remember a man who visited after dark.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The cruelty of Samuel\u2019s double life settled over me.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe both versions had been real.<\/p>\n<p>That made it worse.<\/p>\n<p>I asked, \u201cWhat did he want done to Rachel?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>David\u2019s face changed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho told you that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou did, just now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou said Anna was someone Samuel should have finished.
