It’s
your first day on the job. Your editor
has helped you rent a small house just across the street from the
Curtis
family. It’s early in the afternoon on
Saturday, and a yelling match has just broken out, “Pony…you never
think! You have to think about where you
are and
who’s around you!” There’s a muffled
reply and pretty soon the screen door bangs closed.
You try to catch a glimpse through the back
window of your 1962 Mercury Comet as you're unpacking, only to see two
teens take off down
the
street. Could this family know anyone
related to the killing of Bob Sheldon? They
seem troubled. You
decide to
finish unpacking and let the family settle down before introducing
yourself. You think to yourself, “What’s
all the
yellin’ about?”
After
unpacking, you outline your plan: 1. introduce
self to Curtis family, 2. get invited to the drive
in, and 3. buddy
up with one of the guys.
A
few hours later, as luck would have it, a couple of guys are tossing
around a
football over at the Curtis house. It’s
now or never. You walk over to the gate,
lean over, and say, “Hey, I’m Sam; whatcha guys do for fun around these
parts?" |
