Sarah noticed someone come into the kitchen. But when the door closed, she could tell that it was John.

She turned to look at him and he was right there, as if he had been there all the time.

"How did you get here so fast?" she asked, as it took the breath out of her lips. She held the counter behind her for support.

"Yeah, I don't really know. Just happened."

She gave him a weird look then judged, "You're lying to me."

"No, I'm not lying. I just thought about it and it happened. Moved from the door to you without even walking."

"You seem to interest me every single minute I spend with you, John. Soon, I'll have my hands full."

He looked into her green eyes. Used his hand to pluck a strand of dark hair from her face, then he tucked it neatly behind her ear lobe. "And what will you do with me when you have your hands full?" John asked,

"I think I'll make more space," Sarah said.

"You think? You don't sound sure of your decision, Sarah."

She sighed. He was reaching. Trying to

    Quickie For Stress "So what's my next line of action, sir? Should I go see miss Sarah Miller?""Well, if her brother catches you talking to his sister, he's going to break your bones in half," the Mayor said, with a sudden burst of jealousy. Well, he could not help the fact that he wanted the Miller girl all to himself. "I'll talk to her myself. You go talk to the crazy doctor."Clint nodded again. Then he got to his feet and walked out the door. He passed the hallway and went straight for coffee. He knew that he'd be working for quite some time and needed all the open eye he could get.Unfortunately, there's wasn't any coffee. He looked around and his eyes rested on Jane, the secretary. She was peering at some papers with her spectacles seated on her nose bridge. She was young but Clint never understood why she always behaved as if she was too old for her physique and age.He approached her table when she refused to look in his direction. Though he got the clue that she was ignoring

    Great Things "Well, our biggest problem right now lies in the fact that John Crowe is missing," Clint said.The Mayor digested that piece of information and thought about it for a bit. Well, if his own handyman had put it that way, then it didn't really make any sense. Why the hell would someone like that go missing? Not like anyone really cared about him until the minute he walked into his town."Missing, you say?" Jack asked. He was already missing his cigar, and remembering that he had promised Clint not to smoke in front of him as a birthday present, Jack wasn't comfortable with himselfHe was in a bad mood already. So what the hell had pushed him to tell someone that he wouldn't smoke? He always smoked when he was in a bad mood.Damn."Yes, sir," Clint affirmed."You do know this John Crowe isn't even someone that we used to know. Not someone who lives in our town. Not someone you celebrate birthdays with. He's a stranger here. So how come he's missing? I'm guessing the last pla

    Birthday Handyman Mayor Jack Sparrow wasn't in a good mood that morning, and the reason wasn't far fetched. He had taken his tie off, and that happened when he wasn't in a good mood.Headed over to Sarah Miller's factory that morning and was surprised that she wasn't yet there. He just didn't like the fact that he had gone all the way there only to meet a silly foreman that wore a smile that shouldn't even be there in the first place.What the hell.Jack wasn't one of those customers who needed to be welcomed with smiles and patronizing sentences. He was the government of Black Hollow.He sat there in his office and wondered how he could get a hold of her. She wasn't one to arrive work late. So what kept her? Or was it that brother of hers? Maybe it had something to do with that man named John Crowe.And that was the person he really wanted to meet with. Sarah Miller was just a medium to getting to John. There were a couple of things that he wanted to ask John, and if he used his wor

    A Second Letter Well, that was shocking and surprising all at once.She turned the letter the other side to see if there was also something written there but it was blank. She turned it again and re-read the words she had seen earlier.Sarah dropped the letter, got to her feet and went to the door. She signaled for her foreman and waited.When George came in again, Sarah pointed to the letter on her table, well it wasn't even a letter but she didn't know what to call it."What is that?" she asked.He looked at her table, not really understanding her question. Then George looked back at her. "What are you talking about, ma'am?" "I am referring to the letter that's on my table right now. The one I just opened. Who brought it in?" "Oh, I took them from the mailbox," George told her. Sarah didn't like that answer. It would only make it harder to find who exactly had dropped the letter. "From the mailbox?" "Yes, ma'am.""Along with the others?" "That's right. Is there a problem?" "

    GossipsHer factories were located in the heart of the town. The streets in these parts were made with cobblestones. And it was bustling as well. There were a couple of businesses on that street, but it didn't have a name yet. Some time, men who traded on that street started a debate about the name they would give to it. A couple of them proposed that it should be named after the most prosperous venture on it. And that venture belonged to none other than Sarah Miller. A couple of them disagreed too. And that was because of the Miller name. They didn't want to start naming their cobblestone street after a maniac. But the proposers only agreed to name it after the lady herself. Sarah passed by and people greeted her from their shops and stalls. The smiles were still there, still intact, and she wondered if her involvement in the John Crowe case hadn't yet reached their ears.Just as she reached the vicinity of her factory, her foreman, George, rushed to open the gate for her. He was

    Deeds He got to his feet and swallowed the remaining liquid in his cup. Then he dropped the cup on the center table, and held on to the unfinished bottle of beer."Well, don't take too long, Sarah," Lucas said. "I'll need your answer very soon.""I said give me time to think it through," Sarah repeated."Yeah, I heard that. But you're going to have to do better, you know. Quicken things up.""So, we're good now, aren't we?" she asked, changing the topic to something else."What do you mean?""There are no secrets between us?" she asked.He chuckled and asked, "Are there?"Sarah inclined her head to one side and gave him a scowl. Lucas just shrugged and left for the door. He didn't give her an answer which meant Sarah didn't know what to think. But if her own brother was offering her position of Mayor, then that meant he trusted her. Or did he just want her in a position that would benefit himself?Sarah rubbed her palm over her forehead. It came off dry. She didn't expect perspiratio
