But one or two of Cousin Ray lifting weights yet.

And one of Amy and Ray together.

Who took it?

Enos?

Cousin Beatrice?

Eh, I don't think so.

Well, it was almost dark now as I eased the car into Enos' driveway.

And when I got there, it was dark.

The sky above still held the afterglow of early evenings.

But the web of compact trees and shrubs that surrounded the Harper house made patches of blackness all around me.

I got out of the car and I saw a light somewhere in the back of the house.

And back there, too, a faint sound I couldn't distinguish.

There was a sudden movement from the hedge behind.

There was a shock, not a pain, at the top of my spine.

But the bulldozer who jumped me from behind wouldn't settle for that.

My face mashed into the dew-soaked grass and I inhaled a lung full of wet vigoro while someone with the strength of ten flailed away at my back.

Why I wanted to turn over and take it head on, I'll never know.

But I kept trying to turn.

I slithered instead, slid along the wet grass with a vice on my back.

A vice with a voice that kept hounding me.
