The Great Circus Train Robbery (2008)
“Already Spence was calling at the cellar door: “He’s getting out of the car. Hurry!”
Now the phone was ringing. It rang four times while she waited for the computer to shut down. A voice in the living room said, “Boomer,” and her heart went bang; she held on to the back of a chair. “I’ve got what you want. Sending it UPS,” the voice said. “Look for it in two days.”
Whew! It was the answering machine, she realized, and she raced into the kitchen.
The front door cracked open and Boomer stomped in.... She heard him cough, and then groan—he was probably carrying heavy bags. The cat mewled and she shushed it. She crept down the cellar steps and shut the door softly behind. She heard Boomer call: “Here, Bashy, here, boy”—she shuddered at the name. Was that how he killed his victim—by bashing in his head? Would he kill the cat, too, as witness to the crime?
Spence was outside, holding up the wooden door for her to climb through. Together they let it gently down. She snatched up the book and basket and started across the yard.MoreLess
