Chapter Twenty-Nine

With the threat of alien probes removed from the equation and a bottle of Boone’s Farm implanted in my gut, I crashed into bed and slept like a baby. But, unfortunately, my respite from reality wasn’t to last.

As it turned out, our troubles were just getting started.

At the break of dawn, I was woken by the sound of someone banging frantically on the side door of the RV.

“Geez. What now?”

I sat up. The throbbing in my head made me wince. I glanced at my phone. It was a few minutes before six a.m.

“Awesome.”

I climbed out of bed, leaving Grayson sleeping like a log, and stumbled into the main room of the cabin.

The knock sounded again. I took a covert peek between the blinds. Garth was standing outside the window, his nose and buck teeth glowing in the moonlight like a deranged Rudolph nightmare. I was beginning to think it was the Boone’s Farm when he spotted me and began to wave frantically.

“What’s wrong?” I groused, yanking open the door.

“Pandora!” he yelled. “Someone broke in and wrecked my place!”

I pictured the inside of the brothers’ nasty, hoarder trailer jam-packed with crap. “How can you tell?”

Garth squinted and pushed his glasses up on his nose. “They left the refrigerator door open.”

Seriously?

“Could Jimmy have done it?” I asked, contemplating slamming the door in his mullet-topped face.

“No. He’s too energy conscious.”

A pain shot through my throbbing head. “How about Tooth?”

“No,” Garth insisted, shaking his head. “The beer’s still in there.”

I let that gem of knowledge ping around in my sleepy brain for a moment, then offered one more possible solution. “Raccoons?”

“Not possible. We sealed the roof vent up tight last time that happened.”

“Uh-huh,” I grunted.

“Pandora, I think the intruder has to be of human or semi-human origin. This kind of damage generally requires opposable thumbs.”

He waggled his thumbs at me. I glanced skyward.

Why is this happening to me?

“Can you come take a look?” he asked.

I blew out a sigh. “Okay. Give me a minute to wake Grayson.”

I shut the door, turned around, and slammed straight into something hard and dark. I looked up to see Grayson’s green eyes staring down at me in the dim light.

“Go back to bed,” he said. “I’ll take it from here.”

“You heard all that?” I asked.

But he didn’t answer.

Instead, like a ninja in black, Grayson opened the door and disappeared with Garth into the moonlit junkyard.
