“The doctor had fixed up Jackie’s ankle pretty good. Turned out she had only cracked the bone, but she still had to have a cast on it for the next month. He was a kindly old gentleman and I really liked him. He even gave us all the paperwork and his notes on everything he did to give to her doctor when we got back home.
I stepped toward my closet to finish packing my things.
“No!” yelled Jackie. “Step away from the closet.”
“Jackie, I—”
“You are not opening that.” Jackie stumbled across the room; her cast thumping on the floor. She squeezed between me and the closet door. “The last time you opened your closet in this place, a dead body fell out. We are not taking any chances.”
“Jackie, don’t be silly.”
I reached past her and wrenched the door open. Out fell Rachel with her eyes closed and holding a white lily. She fell to the floor landing on her back making a good imitation of a dead man.
