Chapter 2.

After the first 2 days, things seemed to settle down a bit with Billy occasionally seeing the old lady piddling on the porch hanging plants and the old man in the back yard arranging patio furniture, but that garage remained closed. And it was killing Billy.

The forth day saw a flurry of activity once again with 2 new cars parked on the street and 2 families coming and going. Good news too, as both cars had children in them. 2 girls and a boy. The boy was a little older than Billy and the girls a good bit younger, but he took it as a good sign since over the next 2 days he hadn’t seen any evidence the gruff old man had killed the children and there were no fresh graves in their back yard. Maybe the old man even liked children. They sure seemed happy to see him.

When the weekend was over, the new cars were gone and the new neighbor’s house was quiet once again. Billy was sitting on his steps again just like the week before when he heard the garage door open. Maybe this was his chance to get a closer look at that boat.
