Sense Of Direction

Lucas Miller came out of David's house and waited on the porch. He looked in all directions, trying to figure out the exact course that a man like John would go.

He couldn't second guess him. And if the doctor was right in his words, then the only option would be to track him East.

But for the sake of precaution, Lucas decided to divide his men into groups. Not everyone would be going East.

"I need two men to go in all directions," Lucas ordered. "North, South, East, and West."

"Where will you go, boss?" asked one of his henchmen.

"I'll know soon enough," Lucas said. When his men were all gone, he stepped off the porch and placed a palm against the ground. Then he inhaled as deeply as he could.

The air was think with scents but it was placing the right ones that was the challenge. The only relief he had was that people hardly ever came this way except when they wanted to take another exit from Black Hollow.

And he wasn't sure anyone else would be leaving, save fo

    A Different Approach "I don't follow," David Holt said, and he didn't even give any indication that he was joking or bluffing.Clint sat there and looked at the man for a couple of moments, with eyes he wished could see through one's soul, or conscience rather.But he couldn't. All he saw was a man who looked ragged and worn out. Why? Because he spent most of his time trying to find out why things happened the way they did. Clint was even sure that the man hadn't made love to a woman in the last couple of years. Hadn't had the chance to give in to womanly care. All that worried him was the probability that he might be wrong at something.Clint looked away for some seconds, allowed his eyes to rest on some things in the house. Then he decided to change the subject. Maybe try another approach to the matter. If the doctor was pretending not to know what the hell he was talking about, then David Holt was a very good actor."So, doctor David Holt, what exactly is it that you do here?" "H

    Crazy Doctor Clint walked out of the restroom and took out his card. By the time he got back to the office, the coffee was ready and she had already poured a cup for him.He took it, and nodded a thank you. Hadn't been expecting her to fill a mug for him. Maybe that meant she had thought about his offer and this was the green light."Blow on it first," she said to him. He blew on the warm surface first and took sip. It was alright. The way he liked it. Jane got back to her chair while he finished the cup of coffee. The rinsed the cup for her then picked up his report. "You doing some shopping?" Clint asked.Jane looked at him. "Why do you ask?" "Why do you respond to my question with a question?" Clint asked her. "I can go on and on, Clint. Can you?" He couldn't do that with her. Not with the things he had to take care of. That doctor might be eccentric even. Give him a hard time. But he could do hard time too. And going hard time had nothing to do with exchanging words with a l

    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?" "
