Chapter 2 Barrel's got himself a girl
"Dear Lock," I read again. "I have some things to tell you. Next week, the College I'm at is accepting visitors. I hope to see you there. Sincerely, Shock." I turned around. Barrel was gone. I sighed a deep sigh of relief. Then I began wondering where the H-E-C-K he got to. Barrel doesn't wander too far.
Unless…
Oh, no! I thought. Barrel's sudden departure could mean only one thing. He got himself a lady.
Then, someone entered the house. I looked at my guests. Sure enough, it was Barrel. He stood there with his right arm around a buxom blonde girl.
"Lock, I would like you to meet my girlfriend, Carol!" He said with a smile.
Barrel and Carol. Like Lock and Shock. Rhyming names!
"Hi, Lock!" Carol said. I examined her again. She too was a trick-or-treater type, only she dressed like a vampire. "Barrel told me so much about you."
I sighed. "Barrel, I have a favor to ask of you. Will you and Carol watch the house for me while I find out from somebody where Collegetown is? I only have one rule. No X-rated business while I'm gone!" I took my hat and my coat and walked outside into the crisp fall air.
