Black Ties And Lullabyes (2012)
“She blinked.
Blinked again. It was stil there, an eight-foot wrought-iron fence separating the street from the scraggly lawn of Creekwood Apartments. For a moment, she thought she’d taken a wrong turn and ended up at another apartment complex. She actual y turned to look at the battered sign so she could make sure she was in the right place. The workmen scurrying around stil had a ways to go before the place would be completely encircled, but that seemed to be the plan.
She pul ed over, rol ed ...down her window, and cal ed out to a fifty-something guy in a grungy basebal cap with sweat rol ing down his temples.
“Hey! What’s with the fence?”
“Upgrading. The gate goes up next. Control ed entry.”
Bernie blinked. “Here?”
The guy shrugged. “Believe me. I double-checked the address.”
She couldn’t believe it. Farnsworth had final y decided to put a little money into this place? Granted, a new coat of paint for the siding and fil ing a few potholes would have been a better start, but maybe this was his way of doing something visible to improve things that the residents could feel good about.MoreLess
