Miller felt stronger. She watched as Terrill Lee washed the dishes as if desperate to return some normalcy to the situation. A repeating sound in the distance, like popcorn in a pan? No. Shots! Miller heard gunfire and it was getting closer. She and Terrill Lee moved closer together. He put an arm around her waist. They stepped back from the kitchen window. And then the sound of engines and shouting were coming from right outside."Is that part of your plan?" asked Miller."Shit." Terrill Lee led them back into the living room. He went to the window and peeked out through the thick, closed drapes. "Go get some clothes on, Penny." His voice remained steady, but he looked like he was ready to pee his pants. "What do you see?" Miller went into the hallway that led to the bedroom. "Who is out there?""Can't see nothing yet. Can't even tell where the shots were coming from. I think maybe up by the old Altmeyer place, but without going outside to look, there's no way to be sure." He turned to look back at her.
