Authors Note

Thursday, December 2312:30 P.M .

D eath was waiting, crouched inside the garage of Suzanne Porters beautiful home.

Her shoes slapped against the wet pavement only a few blocks away. The sky had been overcast when shed left on her daily run. Now it was raining and she was soaked. Because her hair was layered, its thick strands stuck to her face and annoyed her. The only way to tame it was to wear a baseball cap. She didnt like to wear hats, though, as they gave her headaches.

Trivial things couldnt upset her today. She loved Ventura when it rained. Crossing to the other side of the street, she glanced through an opening between the houses and caught a glimpse of the Pacific Ocean snaking its way along the shoreline, the whitecaps churning. The surfers must be in heaven, she thought, seeing their heads bobbing in the water as they waited to catch the next wave.

The town had grown around the historic San Buenaventura Mission, founded in 1782. Suzanne was delighted with her husbands hometown, framed on one side by the sea and the other by the mountains. She felt certain they would spend the rest of their lives here. Her parents were dead and she had become very fond of Teds mother and father. In addition, they had a wide circle of friends, some who had known Ted since childhood.
