Comically Stephen avoided Lia all
weekend. Like the video game Super-Spy 'Sam Fisher', Stephen would slip up and down hallways;
fading into shadows and hiding in the woodwork. Besides me only Brian
was able to spot him. But then Brian's domain is the “woodwork”. The first
time I saw Stephen was when I was grilling some chicken breasts on the
Bar-B-Que, in the backyard patio. I heard a noise and turned. Outside of
the glow of the light over the grill I could not see a thing and then I
heard this hush voice, “over here.” I directed my eyes to where my ears
told me to look. “It is me, Stephen,” the voice continued. The crescent
moon backlit a weak jagged light over Stephen face when he moved away
from a large pine tree. He was exposed. Quickly he gave me a series of
complex hand movements. If only I had played more of the latest 'Sam Fisher'
Splinter Cell XBOX game I would know want he was saying—no wait—that is a plate and that is a glass. He
wants me to get him a plate of food and a glass of iced tea. I give him
the okay sign. |
