Green Book 8

Bobby raised a shaking hand to knock on the door. He heard Levi barking and knew she was home. He heard the locks and latches come loose and opened the door. Sue stood down the hall a bit with her back to him. Entering, he closed the door and approached her. He reached out to tap her shoulder and she whirled in surprise. Backing up, he held out his hands in surrender.

"What are you doing here?" she asked. She noticed that he was pale and that his normally steady hands were shaking.

"I would've been dead." The statement dropped like a bomb. He lowered his hands and walked woodenly to a chair. She followed him, trying to figure out what he meant. Once he was seated, she stood next to him. He looked up into her eyes. "It was acid. Hydrochloric acid. Simple device, really. Air pressure and a glass vial. Rigged to spray. If I had opened it at my desk, I would've been dead within a few minutes." He looked down at his hands. Hands that were trained to handle explosives. Hands that now trembled like leaves blowing in the wind. He clenched them tightly and raised his blue eyes to her hazel ones. "How did you know?"

Sue bit her lip to quell the tears. She didn't trust her voice to talk. 'Dream.'

His own voice went dry. "You saved my life, Sue."

"I had help."
