Kaylyn directed him to her house with as little interaction as possible. She dug out a spare house key from under gnome statue, dusted it off, and opened the door. Jonah entered right behind her and leaned against the wall near the door, while she searched through drawers and baskets. For someone eager to get rid of her, he wasn’t letting her out of his sight.

“You do have a spare key somewhere?” he asked.

“Yeah…” she scanned the room, pursing her lips as she tried to remember where she’d put it last time she used it. “It’s somewhere, but….”

“Guess this doesn’t happen often?”

“All the time; that’s the problem. I never put it back in the same place.” Kaylyn’s eyes lit up as she headed toward the junk drawer in the kitchen. As soon as she pulled it open, her chest tightened as if someone wrapped her in a giant hug. The room danced and she braced herself against the counter.

Sprinting from the living room, Jonah called her name, but it sounded like she was listening from under water.

The next thing she knew, her legs felt stripped of anything solid, and Jonah’s arms were wrapped around her. She swallowed hard, feeling the panic rise up. “What just…”

“Maybe we should get you outside for some fresh air,” he said slowly.

“Jonah?”

He wouldn’t answer, pulling on her arm until she followed him out to the sidewalk. Halfway between the door and the car, they heard a loud pop from the house. Kaylyn nearly fell off the walkway, but once she regained her balance, she turned back to see the kitchen go up in flames. Jonah’s arm came around her waist, pulling her backwards, but she shook him off.

“Frank is in there.”

“Frank?”

She slipped from his grasp again and ran back to the house. Smoke billowed out of the door, so she cut around to the side windows, picking up a large rock from the edge of the garden and tossing it through the window. Jonah cussed behind her as she cleared the glass and pulled herself through the window.

Frank’s glass aquarium sat on a cupboard just inside the window, so she ripped the plugs out of the wall and tucked the aquarium under her arm.

As she slid it through the window, Jonah seemed to go even paler.

“A snake....” He took the aquarium, staring at the contents like he expected it to go off like a brick of TNT.

Kaylyn jumped out the window, her feet landing on the ground just as another explosion shook the house. She took the tank, which Jonah couldn’t get rid of fast enough, and they headed for his car.

Kaylyn took a seat in the lawn, plopping Frank into the grass next to her as Jonah moved his car away from the house and called the fire department. As near as she could tell, the whole place was smoking more than burning, but she didn’t care to watch the destruction either way. Pushing aside the lid, she pulled the red and orange corn snake out of the aquarium.
