Back Story

The two dectives pulled into the driveway and cut the engine to the car. They hated bringing news like this to anyone, but especially to the spouse of one of their own.
One man released his seat belt but made no move to get out. The other said, "Remember the last time we did this. We spent five minutes discussing the baseball, the weather, fertilizer. Anything to keep from going to the door. Come on. We have to do this."
The doorbell was answered by a small dark blond woman. "Mrs. Eames?"
She read their faces, went pale. "My husband....?"
