“All three of them. Not Grampa Peter, though. He was put into the little storage room right next to the bathroom. “For safekeeping,” Field said as he shoved my grandfather in there. I heard Grampa Peter sit down hard as if he lost his balance, banging his hands twice on the floor. Stay put. And now Field’s gang is sitting upstairs in the dark, in case I come home and walk in without realizing they are there. From what they said to each other, they have hidden the truck down the road where there’...s a pull-off among the birch trees. It’s been surprisingly easy to listen in on what they’ve said and to tell what is going on from the sounds above. I never realized before just how thin the floor of the trailer is. Where there’s no rug to muffle the sound, every noise comes through as clearly as if I were in the next room.
