“The water tower?” Brent scratched at the shadow of stubble on his chin. “How we going to race—?”

“Without killing yourselves?” Heidi shook her head and crossed her arms over her chest. “Uh-uh. Dumb idea.”

“Wait a minute. It’s a great idea.” Seth began pacing with excitement. “The tower’s easy triple the height of this thing in here. The city’s repainting it right now so it’s got all that scaffolding up.”

Kieran pointed north in the direction of the old water tower. It stood more as tourist billboard off the highway than as an actual storage tank. It still carried rain water but who knew if farmers or anyone actually used it. “I drove by yesterday and noticed some slanted trough bits set up.” He shrugged. “Maybe they plan to drain it or something. Thought it be perfect to race down.”

Heidi sighed. “I don’t–”

“I’m game.” I cut Heidi off before her reasoning would convince me to change my mind. I wanted—no needed—something more challenging. To beat Brent or impress Kieran?

Seth grabbed his sweatshirt and shoved it on over his head. “Let’s go. We can discuss it on the way.”

Dusk turned dark by the time we got there and walked around the tower. At least the air was warm. The engines from the cars zooming by on the nearby highway buzzed by my ears like mosquitoes. Even with the sound barrier bricks, the noise penetrated through.

Seth tossed a pebble into the nearby trees. “It might be hard to see but it means we won’t get caught. The lights from the highway are giving decent a glow but the scaffoldings on the other side.”

“It’s too dark and too stupid to even consider this.” Heidi trailed a few feet behind us.

Rylee stopped walking and put her hands on her hips. “You stay on the ground then. Grow some kahuna’s and stop bein’ such a freakin’ wimp.”

My mouth fell open. “Rylee!” We were all nervous, but Rylee didn’t need to be a bitch.

Kieran moved to Heidi and slipped his arm around her shoulders. “Don’t worry, lass. You stay by me. They’ll be fine. Watch and see.” He pointed at all of us. “You all have the skills. Just believe. It’s easy for me to see watching you, but they’re there. I know it.”

Silent, we walked to the other side of the tower. The tall grass had become dry and crackled under our feet. Paranoid I kept staring at the ground, positive some slinking animal would come scurrying out. I knew I’d hear it before but it still gave me the heebie-jeebies. I think we were all paranoid someone would drive by or a cop would show up. No way was getting caught part of the plan.

The scaffolding went about half way up the ball and like Kieran had said earlier, there were two long tube-like structures emptying into large disposal bins.
