It was hot and sticky sitting inside the car and attempting to keep out of sight. Garcia’s patience was not endless. He had heard the sound of gunshot but nothing after that. He had no idea what had happened in the house. He had clear instructions, do not call the police whatever happens, nor come near the house. There were no screams or shouts or signs of anybody moving around. Clearly, something bad had happened. For a few minutes, he considered his options. He could sit forevermore in the car, or he could creep up and maybe see through a window. The thought that he could get shot or injured played a pivotal role in his mind. C’mon, Garcia, grow some balls! This is not a time to tremble in the back seat of a car. Get in there and see if you can be of use!

With caution, he inched the door open and picked up the shotgun, aware that he had never fired one before. It had more power than a pistol.

Bent low, he scuttled from bush to bush and inched his way to the back end of the building. He could only guess where they would be … or what he would see. He peered around the corner edging and ducked lower than the window level. Raising his head slowly, he could see he was looking into the kitchen area and it was empty. He moved along further to the next set of windows which were much larger. He raised his head again, hoping he wouldn’t be seen. One furtive glance and he knew instantly what had happened.

A man was down, and everybody else was standing with their hands raised. Brodie and the ladies seemed unharmed. What am I supposed to do? One man had a gun and I don’t know how to use this thing! He lowered himself to the ground, trying to come up with a plan.

Crawling back to the kitchen door entrance, he tried the handle. It wasn’t locked, and he pushed it open with caution. He prayed it didn’t squeak. Luck for him, it swung open with silent ease.

Heart thumping.

Stomach churning.

He was a doorway away from God knows what!

Hesitation.
