The paramedics set to work trying to revive her in the back of the ambulance. They used electrified paddles to shock her back to life. A third medic began setting up a stomach pump. Kanekahana was furious, barking curses at everyone around him, but Frank knew the captain had to be the angriest with himself.

Looks like she meant to do away with herself.” Kanekahana kicked a nearby ambulance tire and spat out a few grumbled words. “Did she leave a note?” he asked. “Not that we saw,” the paramedic said. “I’d better go check,” Kanekahana said, marching into the house. Frank and Joe hesitated, reluctant to leave Michele Ebersol while her life hung in the balance.
