Eddy waved his hat and was recognized by the people shooting at the robbers. They stopped shooting and Eddy called out, "SURRENDER, NOW! YOUR FRIENDS ...AVE BEEN CAPTURED AND YOU ARE DEAD MEN IF YOU DON'T GIVE UP!"One of the robbers replied, "WE SURRENDER! DON'T SHOOT! WE'RE GIVING UP!"Eddy stepped out from the corner of the building and pointed his shotgun at the robbers still huddled behind the watering trough. "Toss out your guns and stand up with your hands in the air where I can see them!". He had to be at least twenty seven, and the jeans and T-shirt he wore failed to conceal his well-built frame. ‘Marcelo, right?’ Marla asked as she answered the door. ‘Yes, senora. I come to fix the sink. You lose something in the pipe?’ ‘Yes, my favorite ring, which happened to be my late mother’s engagement ring. And there is the case that water goes down slow whenever I use that sink anyway. It’s been like that for weeks, and I haven’t had time to call a plumber until now.’ ‘I’ll see what I. ‘I’ll take care of you, not the other way around.’ ‘But what if it doesn’t work out. What if… if… remember what you said about promises just being words and getting hit by a car? What if something happens? Are we ready?’ ‘I’ve got a solution to this. You once said that you wanted commitment, well here it is.’ Bill went to his knees in the grass in front of her chair, taking her hands in his. He looked up at her a moment with a serious expression before speaking again, using her real name. The power went out briefly, and when it came back on, the spirits were grouped at the top of the stairs, as if curious what was happening down below.“Come play with me!” It was the voice of a child’s toy, and then Jenny was there. She tore through the spirits like they were paper, her fingers ripping ghastly holes in their bodies. The spirits fled, vanishing through the walls and floorboards. Jenny’s wild eyes briefly met Dana’s, and then she stuck out her tongue and dove into the floor like it.
