"Now let's go."Ken slowly drove down the street towards the house. A police officer stepped in front of the car holding out his hands in the universal...gesture commanding the driver to stop. Ken stopped and waited for the officer to come to the window. Ken rolled down the window letting the cold December air into the Hugger. The officer recognized Ken and said, "Hello Ken. Your wife called us when a bunch of Indians showed up and camped out on the front lawn. There are a hundred of them. We. "Hi," she said in a low voice."Hi, Ms. Brooks," I said. At least she was fully, if sexily clothed. I pulled the door completely open. "You're husband's here looking for you."I'll have to admit that the woman kept her cool. Her eyes widened a bit, but then she calmly stepped back and began to snap her blouse to the throat. "Hi, Bob," she said. "What's up?"Bob and I stepped into the room. I'd forgotten about the gooey mess I'd made earlier, but it wasn't there. The student desk looked freshly. The way she said it was like foreplay. Ben tried to keep his scowl up but couldn't. He mumbled something and then she skipped off to her bike, stowing her bag in one of her saddle pouches. She got onto her bike and then waved to the stairway. Ben looked over and saw Maury. His scowl returned."Thank you, Maury" She called out across the garage. "For everything." Maury waved back, which pissed Ben off even more. Lara cocked Ben a curious look. "Aren't you going to say good bye or anything?"In. I’ll be here.’ I found Nate over by Steve and Liv and brought him back to Cody. Then I told them what I’d told Liv last night about my suspicions with the gun scope and the bullet hole in the crow. They didn’t interrupt and just listened until I’d finished. Cody spoke, ‘That could be a problem. What if he shoots one of us? We could use those traps to simultaneously keep him out and catch food.’ Nate agreed. ‘Yeah. That’s really our only defense. A knife won’t do much against a trained sniper.’.
