Two hours later

I got busy when we got back to the cabin, and we ate a light snack to starve off the angry hunger pangs in my stomach and the ones I guess Callie was also having.

I checked the brakes on my bike to make sure there was no damage to my bike from earlier today. Everything looked great. I washed up and then got busy on the steaks.

The steaks are putting an aroma off that has my stomach growling again. I take the fork I have and take them off the grill. I make sure the grill is safe to leave, and I see four black cats climbing into the tree outside the cabin. I guess they ended up following us back here. I hope those ladies aren’t around too. That one was crazy. It was probably because of her age, but who knows, maybe she hits the booze too hard in the afternoons. I have been called the devil many times since I had the same road name in my club, but she had no way of knowing that, and when she looked into my eyes, it was like she was trying to read my soul. This town is too freaky for me. Now, I am psychoanalyzing everything. One night in this place is plenty. I laugh at myself for being so stupid for thinking this shit over so much. I need a beer. I walk the steaks in the cabin.

“Are you ready for these bad boys, beautiful?” Callie already has a small salad, rolls, and baked potatoes ready.

“Yes, and my stomach is ready, too. I set the table and I have a beer in there for you.” I wink at Callie and she follows me to the table. I put one steak on her plate and the other on mine. “I thought we could just fill our plates in the kitchen. I moved the table here so we can look out the window while we eat and talk.”

“I forgot about our talk until right before I returned to the house. The people of Pandora had me ready to commit murder, and it slipped my mind. I’m ready for the talk so we can go back home. One night in this place is plenty. The town is small, and the minds of the people are smaller. What kind of man would think it is alright to shoot a cat? I wanted to call the cops on him and you know the law and I don’t get along by principle alone.” Callie doesn’t laugh like I thought she would. I look at her.

“I think there was more going on in Pandora than we knew. Zara said Zelda was her twin sister. Zelda looked much younger, but she told me she was in her seventies. I think this town plays a hoax on anyone coming through here on Halloween. They don’t want strangers around here. That’s the only thing that makes sense. I don’t understand what they get out of it.
