Riley Mack And The Other Known Troublemakers - Plot & Excerpts
Heck, he strode into every place that way. This was his town. He was the law. When he said jump, people said, “How high?” and “Off what bridge, sir?” Riley Mack’s mother was working teller window three. No wonder the boy was such a troublemaker. It was a Saturday, school was out, and here she was at work instead of at home looking after her troublemaking son while her husband was off playing soldier boy over in Afghanistan. The chief shook his head. Idle hands were the devil’s tools. Kids with nothing to do got into nothing but trouble. That’s why John Brown made his boy, Gavin, earn his keep, gave him a monthly quota of “second-hand treasures” to be obtained for his grandmother’s antiques tent at the flea market. Kept the boy busy and, at the same time, kept the chief’s mom in food and chewing tobacco, which meant Chief Brown didn’t have to worry about buying those things for her. Money, of course, was what brought him to the bank on a Saturday when he was supposed to be out writing up fire code violations for shopkeepers who didn’t contribute enough money to his special Police Morale Booster Fund.
