Sorrow was David's life now. His love, his reason for living, had been ripped from him in a sudden twisting of metal on the Interstate, leaving sorrow in her place. Alone in bed, he waited for the next day. It must have been about 5 when the phone rang. After a brief temptation to ignore the ring, curiosity got the better of him and he dragged himself across the room and picked up the phone.

"Hello?" Nothing. Irritated, David said "HELLO?" again.

"For two years she was cheating on you," came a whispered voice. "He killed her when she broke it off."

David gasped. He had suspected Lila had been seeing someone - she'd spent too many night "working", seemed too distracted - but he'd never imagined it had anything to do with her death. "Who is this?" David demanded. The phone went dead.

Placing it on the receiver, David felt something new. His life wasn't just sorrow now. He had a purpose, something to look forward to: revenge.

"The best thing is just forget it, get on with your life," said Carl.

David stared at him.

"Hello?" Nothing. Irritated, David said "HELLO?" again.

"For two years she was cheating on you," came a whispered voice. "He killed her when she broke it off."

David gasped. He had suspected Lila had been seeing someone - she'd spent too many night "working", seemed too distracted - but he'd never imagined it had anything to do with her death. "Who is this?" David demanded. The phone went dead.

Placing it on the receiver, David felt something new. His life wasn't just sorrow now. He had a purpose, something to look forward to: revenge.

"The best thing is just forget it, get on with your life," said Carl.

David stared at him. "What are you talking about? How could I just forget it if someone killed her?" His voice began to rise, and Carl looked nervously around the restaurant.

"A little discretion, please," said Carl. He leaned in and said, "Lila was mixed up in a dangerous scene. Just because she's dead doesn't mean that it's safe now."

"God damn it, Carl!" David hissed, keeping his voice to a whisper. "I thought it was an accident, and you're telling me you knew it was murder?"

"No one knows what happened that night," said Carl. "Yet."

David narrowed his eyes and waited for Carl to continue.

"Listen, Lila was working on a big story about the NSA," said Carl. "She uncovered some incredibly damaging stuff - military, intelligence operations being used for political ends, very illegal - and I think somebody went after her. How they arranged that accident, I don't know. But whoever did could go after you, too - or me, or anyone. Think you're safe, and you're fooling yourself."

"So why didn't she tell me about any of this?" asked David.

"Fear of getting you involved, maybe, I don't know - what difference does it make now?

Vengeful Moon

Sorrow was David's life now. His love, his reason for living, had been ripped from him in a sudden twisting of metal on the Interstate, leaving sorrow in her place. Alone in bed, he waited for the next day. It must have been about 5 when the phone rang. After a brief temptation to ignore the ring, curiosity got the better of him and he dragged himself across the room and picked up the phone.

"Hello?" Nothing. Irritated, David said "HELLO?" again.

"For two years she was cheating on you," came a whispered voice. "He killed her when she broke it off."

"Conspiracies like that have always sounded like crazy-talk to me," said David doubtfully.
