E/O Challenge: Skeptical
Word Count: 100
Tom Dupree fidgeted. Both of the FBI agents towered over him. Still, he was the sheriff. "Forgive me if I'm skeptical."
The angry agent audibly growled. Opened his mouth. The big one cut in, loudly. "No problemo. Most people are."
Angry agent glared, said, "Yeah. Most people."
The sheriff stuttered, "S…St,,,still….I watched the X-Files". Angry agent eye-rolled, muttered 'yowza'. Tom persevered. "I'm open. Is it a cult?"
It's something." Taller agent, sincere. "You can help us."
Angry guy, jaw clenched. "To an early grave."
The sheriff denied it later, but he swore the tall guy said. "Not the first time."
Please review! Thanks
