As they walked back to their cars, Officer Reynolds said, "Do you think they'll apprehend him quickly?"

"It all depends on how well he can hide out for the next couple of weeks. He hasn't committed any crime in Canada, so I don't know how much priority their police will give to searching for him; it's not like he's a serial killer. If he can stay under the radar, the longer he's on the run, the less likely he is to be caught. If he's still out there in six months we may have to request that the case be advertised on TV. Some of those "Most Wanted" shows get good results."

Officer Reynolds considered that answer for a few seconds before coming up with another question. "What do you think of this cell phone story of hers? It seemed to me that she was serious when she said that the phone was there last night."

"Yes, I agree. I don't think she was lying or confused about that. I suspect that he came back here, but for some reason never followed through with his intended actions. While he was here he probably saw his cell phone, and decided on the spur of the moment to take it with him."

The uniformed officer seemed a little confused, and asked, "Well, if he was here, why wouldn't he have let her know? It seems sort of inexplicable that he would come back and just take the cell phone."

Detective Rankin stopped and looked at the younger man and said, "Think about it. Patrick Dunn has just killed her lover, and he comes home. The only reason for coming back that I can think of would be to kill her too, and maybe even himself. I don't know what happened to change his mind, but I don't believe for a second that he just returned for his cell phone."

Reynolds slowly nodded his head as he considered the detective's words. Finally he said, "I expect that Mrs. Dunn will eventually realize just how close she came to losing her life and will wonder why she didn't. I wonder how she's going to handle that."

What a sad, pathetic excuse for a human being! Outsourcing your morality and ethics to the government. Deciding what is right and wrong based upon what the criminal statutes are.

By that standard, slavery was perfectly moral in Virginia until suddenly it wasn’t. Adultery and homosexuality were immoral until the courts or the legislature decided that they were morally right.

Do you not understand just how absurd such thinking is?!?

Why call the police at all? Why leave the battery in place when he dumped the cell phone? Is the husband an idiot? Does he want to be caught? Should the author have worked on the ending a bit more?

Better to leave loverboy dickless and alive if one is going to inflict maximum horror

So she cheats, Anthony takes one in the head, Her husband takes it on the run and she is the only one who probably won't be brought to justice. Sorry ending sucks and the good guy ends up a complete dumb ass and a fugitive...... Also why build up the story for 5-6 chapters of good writing and then dumb this ending on us, disrespecting the time we invested..

Good story but felt the buildup and lead-in were a bit too long. Guess it's lucky for Glenda that she had made her last entry into the diary or she would have met her end also. It should eventually sink in and would be a reminder of what a shit storm she has caused by cheating. As for a BTB story, this one was a gotcha for the cheating bastard. Patrick should have shot him in the dick before killing him however, just to let him know how pissed off he was, lol.

The absolutely stupid way the MC behaved while (using his own registered weapon, pictures of lovers dropped,) and after (calling the police from his own phone) murdering lover boy looks a really self destructive to me. He wanted the wife AND the world to know he actually did it and why. That was his kind of revenge on his wife. But letting her live and knowing her state of mind after the affair is also like an open wound. So many commentators think he planned to kill his wife and himself, that he was suicidal. I think that is true. So is he really willing to escape in the long run?

Well developed a d written story!

I like the way this story ends with a question. She seems like a wife who thinks she knows it all, and in the end she will learn how little she really knew or how close she came to death. Good story telling!
