About the author

23 Marrow Lane

The beat up old Camaro rolled down the street and came to a stop. The driver parked beneath the large tree that shaded the road from the moon’s light. Matt ran a hand through his shaggy blonde hair. He looked back out the window. You sure about this Joe? I mean… something about this just don’t sit right with me. he asked as he turned to face the man seated beside him.

Joe fumbled with his pack of cigarettes in the dark car. Quit your worrying. Joe pulled out a cigarette and placed it in his lips. Shit, it’s an easy job, plain and simple. Give me a light? He extended his hand.

Matt fished a lighter out of his pocket and handed it to Joe. He turned his attention back to the small house across the street. What about the old woman? It’s almost midnight and she’s still awake, he said. Through the window he could see the blue light from the television set. It illuminated the room and casted a shadow around the old woman in her chair.

Joe leaned across to look out the driver side window. No shit, huh? Old bird must be a night owl, Joe said and chuckled.

Matt lowered his head and laid his hands on the steering wheel. Maybe we should just forget about this. We can just find a different house tomorrow.

Joe shook his head and opened the door. Screw that, isn’t going to be a better house then this one. Besides the old bird probably just fell asleep in front of the TV, he replied. He closed the door behind him as he stood.

Matt hurried to follow him not looking to be left behind. Hold on man, what if she’s still awake? he asked.

Joe shook his head and made his way to the back yard with Matt in tow We’ll be in and out before she even wakes up, he replied as he shuffled to the back door. He shook the door knob a few times before it swung open. Looks like Benny isn’t full of crap after all, see I told you this is going to be a piece of cake.
