Everything is not as you think...

Georgiy hisses at Molly. I stand on the other side of a plastic covered barn window and step back from the rotted walls. The plastic breathes. A ripped edge flaps open and reveals a wasp’s nest, a clay hive. The uncut lawn hides empty beer cans and my missed step crinkles aluminum underfoot.

So much for eavesdropping.

Two full water pails balance in my grip. I return to the barn dark door but don’t want to enter. Not because I am afraid or polite. I set the pails on the ground and scan the gaunt grass yard. A white cat with pink ripped ears darts by and hides under the vet’s truck. My own ears ring pressing my troubles to one—

Georgiy lies to Molly. He tells her I have something to do with the shooting.

What is that dog up to?
