“I’ll play what you’ll hear for an introduction, and then I’ll point to you. I’ll just play your part then.” Practice went on in that fashion. We were finished in a fairly decent amount of time, and we all went out to the local pizza place for dinner. We arrived back home in time for Kristin to go upstairs and finish her homework. Tracy and I went to the music room to work on our duet. While we were practicing, the phone rang, and I was called to get it. I picked it up and said, “Hello?”

“Adam, this is Joel. One of the guys down here says that he knows the location of the DG. He wants to see you.”

“All right, I’ll meet him tomorrow night at the night club.”

“Okay.” He replied. He hung up.

“Who was that?” Tracy asked.

“Oh that was Joel. It looks like Gangster Schofield and crew are making another appearance!”

“Does that mean…”

“Yes, some one knows the location of the DG.”

“No, I meant does that mean we get to go to the night club again?”

“Oh. Yes, it means that I have to go to the night club.”

“What, can’t I come?”

“It’s dangerous.”

“Dangerous for Kristin, maybe, but not for me.”

“Oh, all right.” Just then I heard a noise outside the room. I turned to look, but only got a glimpse of something dashing out of the room.

“Who was that?”

“I don’t know.” We went back to the music, and then I took her up to her room. “Tracy,” I said as she started into her room. She turned and looked me in the eyes. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her. “Good night.”

“Good night, Adam.” She said.

“If you need me, you know where to find me.” I said. She nodded, and then went into her room. I stopped by Kristin’s room, and saw her lying on her bed on a book. I walked over and picked the book up. I then turned off the light, took off her shoes, and put her in bed. She moved a little, but not much. I went to my room, and turned on the light. Picking up my Bible, I did my devotions for the evening, turned out the light, and went to sleep. Some time that night, Ann returned and went to sleep.
