|ShortSummary = Allegra Dill returns to her hometown of San Bonifacio, Texas, following the death of her sister, Felicity, who died in a [[car bomb]]ing. A.D. Singe, a lawyer and friend of Felicity, says she named Allegra as beneficiary of a sizable insurance policy. Chief of Detectives Strucker and Captain Colder offer condolences but deny her entry into an expensive rental property that Felicity owned, despite her having very little in a checking account. Colder also confides that he and Felicity were to marry after his pending divorce. Allegra sneaks into the residence her sister was said to have lived in, only to find nothing too personal of Felicity's. Strucker offers to take her to the actual residence, but he is also targeted with a car bomb.

Allegra Dill returns to her hometown of San Bonifacio, Texas, following the death of her sister, Felicity, who died in a car bombing. A.D. Singe, a lawyer and a friend of Felicity, says she named Allegra as beneficiary of a sizable insurance policy. Chief of Detectives Strucker and Captain Colder offer condolences but deny her entry into an expensive rental property that Felicity owned, despite her having very little in a checking account. Colder also confides that he and Felicity were to marry after his pending divorce. Allegra sneaks into the residence her sister was said to have lived in, only to find nothing too personal of Felicity's. Strucker offers to take her to the actual residence, but he is also targeted with a car bomb.
