The Case of the Swirling Killer Tornado
“We were left alone in the eerie silence of the house. Off in another room, I could hear a clock ticking.
I hoped it was a clock ticking. If it wasn’t a clock, then it was something worse, and right then I didn’t want to speculate on what it might be.
I mean, when a guy finds himself alone in a big empty house, he begins to hear odd little sounds and his imagination starts playing tricks on him.
We sure didn’t need any of that. Our deal was looking bad enough without any extras.
...I moved myself out from under the table, out into the middle of the kitchen floor, and began pacing. My mind seems to work better when I pace. Have I ever mentioned that? Maybe not.
I began pacing. “Well, Drover, this situation has gone from bad to worse. First, we got ourselves lured into the house by a bratty little boy. Then we almost got caught. And now we’ve been abandoned in the midst of a storm.”MoreLess
