I saw that there was a room with the lights still offon the second floor above the back porch. A strong-looking latticeattached to the brick wall loo...ed safe enough to climb up. How clich?,"I thought. "Let's go up that lattice and into the dark room on thesecond floor. From there, we can look around." He nodded in agreement.I was very impressed with our level of sneaking. We were quick andalmost completely silent. "Playing those sneaky video games finally didus some good," I thought. . My affection for the machines had grown out of my nickname, which was a corruption of my name Harold Lee. Grandma Williams had called me Harley almost from the day I was born, and over the years, the rest of the family and then my friends had taken to calling me Harley as well.
