Chapter 4
I woke up in the guest bedroom at Steve's house. It took me a moment to remember why I was there. Then it all came back. The stake out. The arrest. The escape. The fatigue that had kept me from thinking clearly. And then, it really hit me. I remember why I had been watching Fritt's pub in the first place. There was something dark in there. Something very likely evil. Something...
I launched myself out of bed. “STEVE! CODE FOUR! CODE FOUR!” I could hear Steve running toward me from somewhere else in the house.
Steve opened the bedroom door and pulled his carry pistol. “What the hell, bro? You sound a war warning out of nowhere, there's no one and nothing else in this room beside you and you don't even have any pants on. Don't tell me you were just attacked by your trouser snake guy. It's more like an inchworm.” Steve was joking but if his red cheeks and twisted expression told me, it's that he wasn't happy with me.
