"The shade," he croaked, hardly believing what he had just seen. "He raised the shade." Patty and Jack, playing cards in the backseat, turned in unison to look at the house. "No lights," Jack said. Patty scooped up the cards and slipped them into a cardboard case. "What’s it mean?" he asked, fumbling with the pack of cards. "I think he knows we’re here," Sam said. He crouched in the seat and pulled his hat low over his eyes. "Get down." A light came on somewhere inside the house. For four days there had been no light showing behind the drawn shades. A shadow moved past the door and windows. "What’s he doing?" Patty asked nervously. "You think he’s gonna come out?" "Shut up, Patty. Jack, get up here with me," Sam commanded. Jack obeyed. He rolled down the window and watched the house. The wait seemed interminable. Patty squirmed in the backseat until Sam stilled him with a glance. Jack unconsciously brushed his fingers over the scar on his cheek. Sam squinted past Jack’s profile.
