Brother John Mystery #4
DISCOVERY DRAFT
.
John Carbasian is truly excited about his marriage to Serena on Monday. It seems the culmination of the last seven years of prayer and struggle. But she approaches him boldly to tell him she has eloped with Matthew Lovich, Al Hoag's wealthy illegitimate son and that she plans to stay married to him no matter what circumstances she'll have to endure! Her younger sister Gabby, who's lived in their house under their family's protection since Al and John rescued her from the streets seven years ago also comes to him in tears. She gave up her virginity to Matt Lovich one afternoon in the box stall where she keeps her horse at Sea Oaks, thinking herself  'in love' with him and is now devastated to hear of her older sister's elopement with Al's son ~ since she is pregnant by him during her first and only encounter with sex!
         John marries her and claims the newborn boy as his own son but even as he is returning from the hospital a figure from his long dead past reemerges- one of his former street Vets saying 'goodbye' ` but before he can complete his planned suicide he is murdered and the suspicion falls on Brother John of all people! "the Last one to see the victim alive is probably the killer" - usually works and since he was searching the night closed streets anonymously Brother John has no alibi and no choice but to find the real killer before he can strike at the child and newborn son John loves so dearly!
