Miz Scarlet And The Bewildered Bridegroom - Plot & Excerpts
Must be all the hiking I do, I thought to myself, even as my brain tried to process the sight at the top of the stairs. Lacey, dressed in a practical cotton nightgown, was being restrained by a man wearing a ski mask. A ski mask in summer? “Stay where you are or I’ll toss her over the railing!” commanded a gruff voice. “You do that and I’ll toss your sorry ass over the railing,” I countered, with far more bravado than I felt. “You let her go now and I might let you live!” “Aw, geez!” I heard a voice in the vestibule below. It sounded like Kenny. “Is she freaking nuts?” That was Bur. I recognized the disgusted tone. “What the hell is she doing?” “I mean it!” the masked intruder insisted. “I do too. You let her go right now!” He inched Lacey closer to the railing, but I stood my ground. Don’t ask me how I knew he was bluffing, but I did. “I’m going to do it,” he warned me. “No, you’re not. Want to know why?” Judging from the silence in the hallway below us, I knew Kenny and Bur were already on their way up the back stairs.
