Ballard and Jenkins rolled up on the house on El Centro shortly before midnight. It was the first call of the shift. There was already a patrol cruiser at the curb out front and Ballard recognized the two blue suiters standing on the front porch of the bungalow with a gray-haired woman in a bathrobe. John Stanley was the shift\u2019s senior lead officer\u2014the street boss\u2014and his partner was Jacob Ross.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this one\u2019s yours,\u201d Jenkins said.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t that Jenkins was an ogre but Ballard was more understanding of the emotions of female victims. The opposite was true when they rolled up on a case with a male victim.<\/p>\n

Her name was Leslie Anne Lantana and she was seventy-seven years old. Ballard didn\u2019t think there was going to be much for them to do here.
