As Good As Gone (9781616206000) (2016)
“He’s thirsty after baseball and he plans to make a pitcher of lime Kool-Aid. Will’s almost to the door when he hears Adam Lodge calling out from the Lodges’ yard.
“Hey, kid. Come here for a second.”
Adam Lodge has been mowing the lawn, but he hasn’t progressed beyond cutting one or two strips around the perimeter. He shuts off the mower and crosses to meet the boy.
“Come here,” Adam repeats. “I’ve got a business deal for you.”
Because Adam Lodge is tall and slender, Will has al...ways thought of him as kind of a sissy. But when he sees the man without a shirt—Adam is wearing only a pair of grass-stained high top basketball shoes and plaid Bermuda shorts—Will is surprised at how muscled Adam is. Yes, he’s skinny—his ribs show—but his shoulders are broad, his pectorals are hard plates, and his long arms are knotted with muscle.
