The Christmas Cookie Killer
“I’m volunteerin’.” Sam turned and walked toward the back of the Simmons house, carrying the cookies.
Phyllis and Carolyn hurried after him. The three of them went through an opening in the hedge that led them into the backyard. There was a screened-in porch on the rear of the house. Sam went to the door and opened it. He looked over his shoulder at the women and said, “You ladies wait here. I’ll be right back.”
Phyllis caught her upper lip between her teeth. She wanted to follow Sam right up to... the back door, but she did as he requested. He held the plate of cookies in one hand and used the other to open the screen door and then try the back door knob.
This one turned. The door swung open. Sam stepped inside.
He hadn’t been in there more than a heartbeat when he let out a startled yell, which was followed by a crash of some sort.
Chapter 7 P hyllis hesitated, but only for a second. Then she ignored the fear that shot through her and plunged toward the porch door of the Simmons house.MoreLess
