Fearfully, I looked up. Scaffolding was silhouetted against the violet sky. I thought I saw something else, a head maybe, but then it was gone. “Guess this building does need fixing,” I said in a quavery voice. “It’s got some major loose stones.”

“Loose stones? You’ve got loose marbles! Someone’s trying to kill me.”

I didn’t feel like arguing. I didn’t feel like anything but being safe with our parents on the veranda. At a nervous trot, we headed back but agreed not to tell them about the stone. Otherwise they wouldn’t let us out of their sight again. Yet even with them, I didn’t quite feel safe. Someone with a rifle could pick us off easily.

This was so dumb! My cousin’s not an alien. And nobody’s trying to kill him! The fat, bald guys are just creepy humans, and the stone fell by accident. I didn’t understand the bit with the light, though. Ethan hadn’t seen it because I’d been on top of him. Maybe I’d been hit by a small chunk of rock and “saw stars.” Yeah, that was probably it. An accident and a blow to the head.

Once in bed, I kept telling myself the same things over and over. Creepy but human twin golfers. An accident with a building stone. A slight bump on the head—even though I didn’t actually feel one. But just the same, I didn’t sleep very soon or very well.
