The Parolee

“Miss Reilly, we wanted to inform you that your brother Torin has been let out on parole. And we have some reason to believe that after he leaves San Augustin’s maximum-security prison, he may try to contact you.”

I felt numb, like I must not have heard the officer correctly.

Torin Reilly had killed our father and paid 10 years for it.
And now he would be out to collect what he had left behind.
Me.
