"He's never been responsible enough to take over the house or the business and he knows it "

Jordan turned to leave "I'll be in touch but if you hear anything from him or Aiden let me know "

"I get out of here in a few days from what the doc says so I'm sure one of them will be in contact "

"Your mom's house is all ready for you and I've hired someone to come in and help with the kids I know you want them home with you.As for Mary's funeral just let me know what you want done and we'll get it done "

The men shook hands and Jordan left to go back to the scene

While driving he received several more texts from the unknown number

All taunts in regards to the church fire

Jordan parked on the side of the fire scene when he returned

Murray met him at his truck

"We found more accelerant in the doorway of the church "

"I want this marked as a crime scene and taped off .I found a rosary in the parking lot that was a family members this has to be personal "

Murray nodded and walked over to talk to Henry

There wouldn't be much that could be done until they could enter the building and the structure was still fully engulfed

"I'm leaving for the night you can reach me by phone or radio "Jordan informed both men before leaving

Driving back to his grandparent's house Jordan reviewed all that they had discovered and was convinced more than ever that his brother and nephew were behind the arsons

Parking in the driveway Jordan entered the house quietly knowing the kids were asleep

Mattie met him at the door

"What happened ?You look like you seen a ghost "

Jordan pulled her into his arms and held her close

"I found a rosary in the parking lot that belonged to my aunt which was in the Melville Avenue house "

"Oh my God "Mattie gasped

"There were several places in and around the building "

"The same accelerant that's been found at the other scenes ?"

Jordan nodded

Plus I've been getting texts from an unknown number all taunts "

Jordan handed Mattie his phone so she could read the messages

"It has to be Aiden "

"I think so too but he's obviously working with someone "

Jordan's phone rang and he looked down at the caller ID

"I have to take this babe it's Henry "

"What have you got Henry ?"

"Aiden just showed up at the church "

"Keep him there I'll be there in five "

Jordan hung up and turned to Mattie

"He just showed up at the church I'll be back "

"Be careful he's obviously becoming more dangerous "

Jordan kissed her tenderly "I love you "

"Love you too be safe "

Jordan flipped his lights on and sped off to the church

When he arrived he found Aiden standing there talking to Henry
