This spot will do, Richly thought
sadly. He peered over his shoulder into the darkness to make sure no one was
watching, then raised his shovel and drove it into the earth.
Clang!
The sound of steel hitting rock rang
out in the stillness of the night. He dropped to the ground, his heart
pounding. Good grief! At this rate he’d rouse the whole neighborhood. He
clenched his teeth at the thought of waking someone inside Christy’s house.
What if her dad came out to investigate and discovered him? What explanation
could he possibly give his ex-girlfriend’s father to being in his frontyard
with shovel at 3 A.M? He tried not to think about it.
Rich held his breath and waited. A
minute passed, and no one in the house stirred. All was quiet. Slowly he stood
up and resumed his work, this time with greater care. The noise of his digging
still seemed unbearably loud, but he decided to keep at it. Christy and her
family lived in the Virginia countryside and had a big front yard. Rich was
probably a hundred yards from the house. They’d never hear him. At least he
hoped they wouldn’t…
