For the Least of These
“Instead, I saw Rick Hartwood standing there alone rubbing his shoulder. What on earth was he doing here?
“Let Brandy go and I won’t hurt you,” he said. He tried to appear threatening, but his quivering voice gave him away.
“No, Rick!” I screamed. “I’ve got this under control…” But it was too late. Terry had already picked up his gun and he was aiming it in Rick’s direction.
“Things don’t look under control,” Rick said.
“Why the heck did you try to break the door down?” Terry ask...ed. “It wasn’t locked. All you had to do was turn the knob. Now it might not close back and – in case you didn’t notice – there’s a hurricane outside. Get your ass over here and sit down. I’ve got to decide what to do with you now.”
I was surprised by how cool Terry had become. He wasn’t acting like a madman any longer; he really did seem to be more like the Terry I had known for all these years.MoreLess
