Chapter 6

“A very boring one,” Molly said, rolling her eyes. “He did people’s taxes.”

Rory chuckled. “He was an accountant. That was only a part of it.”

“Well, he didn’t like it,” Molly replied with a sharp nod of her head.

“I wouldn’t either,” Deke told her. “But you do what you have to. Was it his company or did he work for someone?”

“He subcontracted for a local firm and worked from home,” Rory said.

So he found a job that kept him out of the public eye. Smart move if he was in hiding. “Not a bad way to make a living and stay close to the family at the same time,” Deke said aloud

“But not one that’s going to get you killed.”

“You wouldn’t think so,” Deke agreed. “For sure not the way he was, by trying to wipe out his whole family. Especially since whoever did it probably hoped the arson investigators would decide the fire was caused by something like faulty wiring.”
