Dark Hollow
“We didn’t see it until we heard the car door slam. All five of us jumped at the sound. The chain saw sputtered, then died, and the night seemed suddenly quiet. “Good evening, gentlemen.” Detective Ramirez stepped toward us. “You guys are up late.”A uniformed officer with brown hair slid out of the passenger’s side, and another with red hair walked around to the front of the patrol car. Both stood stiffly, hands resting on their holsters. “D-Detective Ramirez,” I stammered. “What are you doing here?”He smiled thinly. “I could ask you the same thing, Mr. Senft. We’re on stakeout. Watching the neighborhood, seeing if the perp returns to the scene of the crime. I’ll spare you the details. Surveillance is always boring.” He eyed our weapons, and continued. “But something tells me that you guys are having much more excitement tonight.”Merle tried to grin but succeeded only in looking ill. “You know how it is, Detective. Quiet night in a small town and all that.”
