Red Herring
“He was on South Main Street, in Brattleboro. It was both late and frigid enough for even the night’s oddest denizens to be falling asleep. And he was about to break and enter.
He was poised outside Susan Allgood’s dark and quiet apartment, paying little attention to the cold biting into his exposed skin. There were a few lights on behind a window here or there, a couple of otherworldly glows from television sets, but no shadows moving, and no sounds aside from the distant rumble of an unseen ve...hicle, or the occasional clang that punctuates every urban setting like a fitful heartbeat.
He knew where Sue was, or had been fifteen minutes earlier, when he’d monitored her inebriation at the local bar. She’d been alone then, and he doubted she would have picked anyone up in the meantime.
Plus, he knew that she valued her relationship with Chuck McNaughton enough not to mess it up with a one-night stand. And while she may have been a little buzzed right now, she wasn’t drunk. Willy was confident of all this.MoreLess
