Chapter Fifteen

Strangers in a Strange Land

“Nice backpack, kid,” a deep, grumbly voice says from the darkened passenger-side window of the van.

I gulp.

“You better get home and avoid the street tonight,” says Mr. Deep Voice.

The van rolls slowly past and into the darkness. I watch the two taillights fall away into the mist like the red eyes of a dragon.

“You’re not the boss of me,” my voice peeps. I want to sound tough and brave, but I sound more like a nervous guinea pig.

Who was that? Why were their headlights off? Could they be the ones trying to scare the Ashers off their property? Were they trying to scare me off my first official case as a private detective?

“The plots thickens,” I say to nobody, although I’m really thinking that if the plot thickens any more it’ll start to feel like quicksand.

I feel goose bumps crawl across my back, skitter up my neck, and spread across my scalp like a herd of spiders.
