A Dark Force

Chapter 4: The Hunt

To find what was causing all these problems, Tim walked out of the house with Brad, Randy, Mark, and Jill. They planned to walk to Wilson's front house. When there, Tim bent down and looked.

"What do you plan to find, a sign saying blah, blah, blah was here?" Jill said sarcastically.

"Will you be quiet honey?" Tim asked. "I'm trying to concentrate!"

"We won't find anything, especially with you around," Randy joked.

Mark giggled quietly and stopped after a stern look from Jill.

"I wish you four would let me look," Tim said. "Wilson was my friend as he was yours!"

"But it's not like we're about to…" Mark began.

He didn't finish, because Tim gave an exclamation, "Here! A pile of ashes!"

"So Wilson was burning a fire last night," Brad said. "So what if he was?"

"You forget, I'm Tim 'The Tool Man' Taylor," Tim reminded them. "I think I know a campfire when I see one, besides Wilson cooks in his backyard."
