Tony’s voice came through the door. “The boys have their Scout meeting tonight. We’re carpooling with the neighbors next door. We’ll be back by nine.”
Alan cocked his head to the side as his brain processed a new plan. A dangerous plan that hinged on Tony and the boys being driven by the neighbors.
“Alan? Did you hear me?”
“Uhh—yeah—okay.” Alan could hear Tony’s feet walk across the wood floors soon accompanied by two pairs of smaller running steps.
A small amount of adrenaline oozed through Alan’s veins. He got to his feet and looked out his room window on the second story. Sure enough Tony and the boys were leaving the house.
Tony was dressed in a Scout uniform that was made for someone a size or two smaller than him. The two young boys raced each other to the neighbor’s house. They weren’t taking Tony’s car.
You’re going to get in so much trouble for this. But if everything goes well tonight, wouldn’t it be worth it?
Alan made his way down stairs to the houses garage.
