Alex Ames - Calendar Moonstone 01 - A Brilliant Plan - Plot & Excerpts
I walked to my room on autopilot, chastising myself that I had taken the initiative and failed miserably. On the other hand, I now had one more incentive to close the case, and quickly! The lock, the key and me had a disagreement and I clumsily fought to open my room door. Wise Uncle Mortimer, my teacher and mentor, had told me once, “Should you ever be discovered while on the job—Act. If you are in the middle of cleaning the safe and the light goes on and you see the master of the house with sleepy eyes—you act. You don’t stand rooted to the spot and you sure don’t freeze. Instead, you run, you scream, you fight, whatever. You act to keep the upper hand of the situation. Because whenever you act, the other party has to re-act. You act!” So I did and it probably saved my life. I had opened the door of my room, took one step inside, the light of the corridor throwing a beam on the bed and the nightstand. My hands were feeling for the light switch while my left foot was still pushing the door.
