Secrets Part Six - Worrying
Nathan Stark was worried. Things were too quiet.
As Thorne had been so eager to point out, a lot happened in this town since Jack had become sheriff.
Oh jeez, he was calling him Jack now?
Here was the current problem on his mind… Well, the problem that floated into his mind in between the current problem.
The town was to quiet.
Was he making a mistake?
It had been quiet for days.
Why was he even thinking about this anyways? It's not like it mattered.
Not a single experiment had blown up, injured anyone, caused damage to the building or been shut down after near misses.
That girl really annoyed him. He had been perfectly content until she'd paid him a visit.
It wasn't so much a shock that nothing had gone wrong as it was that Fargo hadn't made something go wrong.
Content.
That boy was accident prone.
Content.
The town was too quiet.
He used to have this friend…
What was going on?
He hadn't talked to her in years.
A quiet town usually meant something bad was about to happen.
he used to say there was a difference between content and happy.
He would have to keep a look out.
He didn't want to end up in another situation like the one he'd found himself in with Fargo's latest blow-up doll.
He'd always wondered what she'd meant.
God that was scary.
He was fairly certain he could have lived his entire life without needing that visual permanently burned into him memories.
Until now, he had no idea…
What she'd meant when she said content was not necessarily happy.
