The Dark Light
“But I was determined. Sol had been close to telling me something, of that I was certain. With no trace of Jay, I had to find out what that something was.
I dumped my bike far from the house and hiked the remaining half mile. Sol’s truck was parked outside. The occasional shadow moved through the living room. Crouched, I waited.
Sol left at eight. I lingered for ten minutes, zippered up my jacket, and then got to my feet. I was going in.
The house loomed in the dusk, like a wicked witch’s lair i...n a kid’s fairy tale. With no notion of what I might find, I pictured children’s bodies, cages, ropes.
And Old Man Crowley? The only thing I knew for certain was that OMC was no longer here. Where he’d gone was a mystery.
