“I’m telling you! They were in there laughing! I was looking right at them when you called out the window.”
“Good God. What’s gotten into him?”
“I don’t know.”
“Are you scared?”
“Not really. Well, sort of.”
“You don’t know him, do you?”
“Know him? How would I know him?”
“I don’t know. This is making me crazy. Maybe we should do something.”

“What did he say?” asked Margaret. “When you all had dinner? Did he say what he was doing here?”
“Oh, he said he was hiding. That he’d been looking for food after he jumped ship a few days ago. That he was trying to get something out of the kitchen and heard footsteps and ran up the stairs to hide. Apparently he didn’t know what room he went into, he was just waiting for a chance to get back out.”MoreLess
