With the body now identified anddeeply into Brian Meeks&039;s personal and professional life, Detective Sherbet had asked me to lay low for a while and let his boys think they were doing some actual work

I told him no problem, smiled warmly, and promptly looked into Brian Meeks&039;s personal and professional life

Since I knew the cops were currently turning his s and everything that could help identify the killer, that left his professional life

Which is why I found myself outside the Fullerton Playhouse Turns out that Brian Meeks had been an actor here in Fullerton, working priht explain why he lived in a one-bedroom apartment

The Fullerton Playhouse is located on Commonwealth, near the Amtrak train station, and near what had been one of my favorite restaurants, back when hetti House will always have a special place in ain eat ain was a crime in and of itself

I parked in thelot next to the wooden playhouse A : The Musical" Under the sign were the words: "The King is Back!"

I tried to push through the secret door, but I was just too far away My range is limited, and I was at the far end of it

I snapped back into ave h ain The sun was still out, whichto be very fun When I had mentally prepared myself, I took a deep breath and threw opencurbs like a horse at a steeplechase

When I finally ducked under theand clutchinga little The sun was truly not my friend And that was a dah for ht, I pushed my way into the theater&039;s main entrance
