Tippy Toe Murder
“ “Mommy, what’s this?” Sara held out her finger, to which a little green worm was clinging for dear life.
“It’s an inchworm,” exclaimed Lucy. “Isn’t it cute?”
“No, it’s icky,” said Sara, frantically shaking it off. “How long do we have to stay here?”
“We just got here,” said Lucy, looking around the baseball field for a place to sit. It was the Saturday morning Little League game, Bill’s IGA Giants were playing the Yankee Real Estate Clippers, and Lucy was uncomfortably aware that Sara’s senti...ment echoed her own.
Toby’s streak of no hits had turned the weekly ritual into an endurance trial for Lucy. She scanned the crowd of parents, determined to avoid Tim Rogers’ overenthusiastic mother and her clique of friends. Lucy had made the mistake of sitting near her last week, only to discover that Tim was destined to be the next Wade Boggs. When Toby went up to bat for the third time, and struck out for the third time, Lucy knew death by firing squad would be kinder than Andrea Rogers’ withering scorn.MoreLess
