Secrets of Harmony Grove
“I immediately took cover behind the bush and drew my weapon. Watching, waiting, my heart pounding, I suddenly realized that no one else seemed alarmed or had even reacted at all.
Lowering the gun, I listened intently, wondering if I was imagining things. Then I heard the sound again, just as Mike came walking past.
“It’s a nail gun, Collins,” he said dryly, “not a shotgun. You can holster your weapon.”
He continued on past, leaving me there behind the bush with my cheeks burning. Between this i...ncident and the earlier animal scat he thought he’d found, I guessed we were even.
As the distant “bang” happened yet again, I realized that what I had been hearing was, indeed, the sound of nails being shot, not bullets. Slipping my gun back into its fanny pack holster, I was just glad that I hadn’t done something really ridiculous, such as yelling “Hit the dirt!” to all of these cops.
Feeling like an idiot, I slunk away in search of the noise’s source, which sounded as though it was coming from the springhouse, a picturesque little structure that sat on the far side of Emory’s house.MoreLess
