Chapter 48

Ashley and I ducked and stayed down. I thought we’d been spotted, but whoever it was kept coming slowly. Finally the vehicle turned into our driveway, and its lights went out.

“Who is it?” Ashley whispered.

“How should I know?” My heart pounded as a door opened, then closed.

Through the night-shot feature on my video camera I saw someone walk toward the house carrying something. I hit the Record button, thinking maybe the vandals were getting braver.

I scanned the back of the truck to look at the license plate, but it was parked sideways. The night shot made everything look green, so I couldn’t even tell the color of the truck. It looked just as beat-up as Randy’s though.

Ashley grabbed the walkie-talkie.

“Wait,” I said. “Someone’s on the porch, putting something by the door.”

“What if it’s a bomb?” Ashley said. She keyed the mike. “Sam, can you hear me?” Pause. “Sam, are you there?”

No response. C’mon, Sam!

“It’s Randy,” I said, straining to see his lanky body trudging back to the truck empty-handed.

“You sure?” Ashley said. “What’s he doing here?”

“Maybe he came back to smash more than just our mailbox,” I said.

When Randy neared his truck, Ashley keyed the mike again. “Sam, it’s okay. Randy just left something. Probably for Leigh. Do you copy?”

I grabbed the walkie-talkie. “Batteries are shot. You want to go inside?”

“No, do you?”

I shook my head.

As Randy pulled away, Ashley said, “Come on, let’s see what it is.”
