Sammy Keyes And the Night of Skulls (2011)
“Specifically Holly, who was supposed to help out in the shop.
“What time is it?” Holly asked after Hudson relayed the news.
“Half past nine.”
Holly jumped up. “How’d that happen?” Then she beat it down the porch steps, calling, “Come over later! I want to know what happens.”
I wave and call back, “Okay!”
The minute she’s gone, Hudson eyes me and says, “What happens with what?”
I look at him, wondering where I’m going to start with this, only he’s not sitting down, getting comfy, kicking his boo...ts up—he’s just standing there.
Now, this whole skull thing is not something I can explain with him standing. It’s just not. But even when I say, “Well, it’s kind of a long story,” he doesn’t sit down. So I finally ask, “Uh … what time do you have to pick up Grams for church?”
He scratches one of his bushy white eyebrows. “I should be leaving now.”
“Oh. Well, never mind, then.”
“Why don’t you come along?”
“I can’t. Billy and Casey are meeting me here.”MoreLess
