Marie Bergmann poured herself a second glass of brandy and leaned back into her chair, listening to the winter rain hammering against the window. She’d moved back to rural Nebraska to be near her son Martin, but all she felt was a crippling sense of loneliness. The brandy was the only thing that calmed the night terrors that had plagued her since her husband’s death. Even in the rare moments where her grief subsided, what replaced it was a mixture of anger and fear: anger at the failure of those she trusted to protect her husband as he investigated a criminal syndicate operating in downtown Chicago, who’d left him unguarded the night he was shot dead; and fear for her only son, who’d followed his father into law enforcement in their hometown of Amesbury.
Outside, there was the sound of sirens. Marie ignored them. Wherever they were going, it wasn’t here.

AMESBURY COP KILLED IN SHOOTOUT AT HOME
Police in Amesbury are looking for leads after a police officer was shot dead in a gunfight at his Lincoln Drive home late on Friday night. Sergeant Martin Bergmann, 27, was found dead by fellow police officers shortly after midnight along with the bodies of two suspected assailants, whom police believe were killed by Bergmann in a brief shootout before his death. Bergmann’s death comes only weeks after his father, John Davis Bergmann, an FBI agent and Amesbury native, was murdered in Chicago by a criminal racket it is believed he was tasked with investigating. Bergmann called 911 shortly before his death, asking for police assistance and saying a group of men were attempting to break into his home, and police believe that several assailants escaped the scene before police arrived. Police have appealed to the public for any information regarding the killing of Sergeant Bergmann, who leaves behind his mother Marie and two younger sisters.
