Prologue

It has to be a nightmare.

Wheres the fucking money? the voice asks.

The hushed tones of the intruder are followed by a silent, visceral threat the cold metal of a handgun against his cheek. As the father of two lifts his gaze, quivering with fear, the man speaks again: Wheres the fucking money? I said.

What is happening? The man is in his own bed, in his own home, sleeping soundly after a long day of work. He attempts to shake off the grogginess of his deep slumber, to understand exactly whats transpiring. The intruder standing over him doesnt have time for his attempts at comprehension; he has his orders, now he needs to execute. Today is payday. He grabs fifty-seven-year-old Hann Pan roughly by the scruff of the neck. If Hann had time to put on his glasses, he would be able to see into his assailants eyes, though theyre largely hidden beneath a baseball cap that is pulled down low on his forehead. The man leads him downstairs, the gun pressed firmly to the back of his head. As they descend the semicircular staircase, the scale of the threat to Hann and his family is revealed one horrifying step at a time. Downstairs, another masked man, also wearing a flat-brimmed baseball cap, stands over Hanns wife, Bich-Ha, a gun to her neck.

Bichs feet are still soaking in a bucket of water after her weekly line-dancing class. She timidly looks up and asks her husband, in Cantonese, her voice cracking with fright, How did they get in?

I dont know, he answers. I was sleeping.

Impatient, one of the men shouts, Shut up! You talk too much. He turns to Hann and repeats, this time slower, his voice seething with rage: Wheres the fucking money?

Hann, believing the men only want to rob him, not hurt his wife or him, obliges. The problem is that since the Pans were robbed years ago when they lived in Scarborough a rough area he moved his family out of to avoid this sort of confrontation they no longer keep large amounts of money at home. I have $60 in my pants upstairs, but my possessions are worth plenty, he tells his tormentor.

Liar! I need the fucking money, nothing else.

Hann suddenly feels a searing pain in the back of his head. He falls to the floor. A gush of blood cascades over the living room couch.

Get up!

As he and his wife are led into the basement of their middle-class suburban home, true fear begins to rise to the surface of Hanns mind. Still, he cant imagine the scale of violence and horror that is about to descend upon his home and family this unseasonably warm November night.

Its different for Hanns wife. She senses the imminent danger. She blurts out a panicked plea: You can hurt us, but please dont hurt my daughter. Her mind is racing, frantic, wondering why theyre being taken downstairs. She begins to plead with the intruders, whimpering and begging them to take pity on her humble family.

In the basement, the couple is ordered to sit on the couch, the same place where their daughter Jennifer lounged, watching her weekly sitcoms, just hours earlier. The men throw blankets over the couples heads, blankets that keep the family members warm in the often-frigid basement. Hann remains calm, resigned to his fate; his wife is hysterical. The assailant readies himself, aims, and fires. One bullet rips through Hanns face, fracturing the bone near the inside corner of his right eye, grazing his carotid artery. A second bullet hits him in the right shoulder, exiting out the back of the top of his shoulder.

The men turn their attention to his screaming wife. The initial blast from the firearm pierces the base of her neck. A second shot tears through her upper-right shoulder. And a final bullet, this time fired at closer range, enters and swiftly exits her skull: a fatal shot.

Daughter Jennifer, who is later discovered by the police tied to the upstairs banister, recounts the sound of four or five pops and then an unknown number of footfalls before the intruders leave the house.

When Hann slowly regains consciousness and opens his eyes, he is gripped with terror as he comes to realize that the last eight minutes of his life have not been a gruesome nightmare but instead a terrifying reality. As the details of the break-in race through his mind, he looks beside him, where the love of his life lies, bloodied; her body has slumped to the floor. He crawls to her, wincing in pain, blood dripping from wounds in his shoulder and head. He shakes her, calls out her name, once, twice, three times no response. The life has already left his wife of thirty years. He begins to howl in agony, a pain both physical and emotional. As he lurches upstairs, his desperate screams and moans are clearly audible to the 911 operators fielding his daughter Jennifers panicked call for assistance. Hann reaches the main floor and staggers to the front door. Outside, he collapses in front of a neighbour who is on his way to an early shift at work.

Dad? his daughter Jennifer yells down to him. Im calling 911 Im okay.

But her father doesnt hear her. He is racked by pain in his own world of dread.
