Broken Harbour

Scorcher and Richie go back to the house and speak to Larry. He has found all the baby monitors, and the cameras are pointed toward some of the holes in the walls to look inside a cupboard and the attic. In the attic, the team also found a large trap that looked “like it could take down a puma” (84).

Scorcher and Richie search Pat and Jenny’s room, discussing the potential suspects. Richie suggests that Pat had a mental illness, but Scorcher says derisively that more likely it was either one of the Spains or someone who targeted them specifically for a reason. They find a small pin-badge that says, “I go to JoJo’s!” hidden in Jenny’s drawer (91).

Cooper calls to update them on Jenny’s injuries, which include stab wounds on her back, small cuts to the face and neck, and an injury from a blunt object on the back of her head. The injuries eliminate Jenny as a suspect because they could not have been self-inflicted. They look at the financial records and find that the Spains were completely broke, with overdue mortgage payments and bills.

One of the floaters calls and tells Scorcher that there’s something he has to see.
