Just another tease from my new book I'm working on.
Now we wait and see the sheriff says as I
our waitress seemed awful interested our in conversation. She must be one of
Esters girls as well. Seems she has her little spy’s all over town now. Loose
lips sink ships as they say Pastor, we will have to be careful from here on in.
I’m going to drop by Tommy’s and let his parents know to keep him close and
safe till we get to the bottom of this.
Suddenly outside a fire truck screams by
along with an ambulance and the deputy’s squad car lights and siren running.
The sheriff stands paying his tab hurries out to his car calling Sally the
dispatcher, “Sally what’s going on?” A house fire was reported.
52.
GARRY E. LEWIS
Steve, its Tommy Daniels house, “Oh no the
sheriff says, I’m on my way.” Pastor John walks over, Steve shouts, “get in
John its Tommy’s house, it’s on fire!” Oh my God! They speed out of the parking
lot towards Tommy’s house the smoke can be seen across the skyline.
Pastor John holds his Rosary praying as
they soon after pull in front of the house, the fire truck and firemen have
hoses stretched out across the yard spraying down the house. The Ambulance
pulls away another one pulls up into the drive way as they haul Tommy out and
load him into the ambulance. They follow the ambulances to the hospital one has
its sirens on, the one with Tommy, the other ambulance no siren running.
The sheriff says, that can’t be good, I
hope little Tommy is ok. When they arrive at the ER the Paramedic at the desk
confirms the sheriffs fears, Tommy’s parents never made it. Tommy is wheeled
down to ER room #3 with some bad burns. But expected to recover, The Pastor
heads for room #3 The Sheriff sticks his head in, Pastor John says, you go ahead
sheriff, I’ll stay with Tommy. See what you can find out about the fire.
The sheriff says, thanks Pastor, I’ll swing
back by later and check in on Tommy.
