THE DEAD GAME — DAY 78
Sheriff Sam had his hands
full that morning. Not only did Shana want to go to End House, but also
Mike and David, who both refused to leave Carl’s side. Earlier that
morning he had called for reinforcements to help with their search for
Louise. Police of neighboring towns and state troopers were busy
scouring the beach and park for any sign of her. He hoped to find her
alive and well—and not just her lifeless body, like the others that had
been found on the beach.
Deputy Carl was busy
loading Mike and David into his car with a very exasperated look on his
face. Sam couldn’t understand why Carl always acted irritated whenever
he was asked to do his job. It was time to replace his indignant deputy
with newer and fresher talent.
He said to Shana, “You’re coming with me, but don’t wander off by yourself in the house. I know how independent you can be.”
“You don’t know me well
enough to predict any of my actions!” Her face turned a bright crimson
red. He enjoyed pushing her buttons to test her reactions; and again,
she didn’t disappoint him.
“That could be very easily
arranged.” Sam walked to his car. He knew that in time Shana would be
all his; he just had to be patient a little while longer.
