Chapter 25

Wanting to get away from the loud screeching of the metal being cut, Emma and I walk along the brick wall wading through the weeds. “I hope we find some answers today,” I tell her as we see a hollow section of the wall. It’s a little window. We take turns looking in, but really can’t see anything through the overgrowth.

We’ve walked for about twenty minutes when we decide we’re not getting anywhere and decide to turn back. As we get closer to the gate, we hear the guys yelling that there in. We start a slow jog to get there faster. When we reach the driveway, Luke and Jacob are already in the truck and motioning us to hurry up. Emma and I jump in the bed of the truck and sit on the edge as Luke’s starts driving down the lane.

It’s very eerie with the tall bald cypress trees lining the lane. Their large bases almost touch one another and silvery grey moss hangs from the limbs that reach so high only a few beams of sunlight can make it through.

Luke drives slowly so we can look around as we go. I see the top of some building off to the left of the lane. The grass and weeds have over taken whatever it is. “Maybe it’s a shed,” I tell Emma pointing toward it. The closer we get to the house the creepier it gets. All the windows are boarded up and the paint’s peeling off the wood. There’s a huge front porch with a swing, one side is hanging down with the chain broken. Luke pulls up to front of the house and we all hop out.

All of us stand there in a row staring at the huge mansion. Why would daddy let this place rot like this? This plantation is huge, one of the bigger ones. He would’ve made a lot of money from it.

Luke and Jacob make their way up to the huge front double doors. They are padlocked also. As they start working on it, Emma and I walk around toward the back of the house. It’s a very typical southern plantation as far as I can tell. At the back of the house we stand on a stone patio taking it all in. Whatever is out on the grounds we can’t see because of the grass and weeds being so high. We hear the back door rattle, and jump back startled. The door opens revealing Luke and Jacob standing in the doorway.

The first thing I notice when I enter the house is the smell, it’s a musty smell. It is very dark, but some cracks in the boarded up windows lets in enough light that we can see. Luke hands out flashlights to all of us and we start to look around. The kitchen is very large, larger than ours at home. It has beautiful marble counter tops and deep brown pecan cabinets. I run my fingers along the cool marble leaving imprints in the thick dust that covers it as I go.
