"We got another tip

"We got another tip. We need to get in that cabin," Jenny told her partner, Cletus. "Then we'll get our money shot. It's the scoop of a lifetime. We'll finally hit the big time and show everyone I'm not just a pretty face."

Cletus rolled his eyes, lifting his camera to his opened car window to snap a photo of the trees around them. "You expect us to just break into the cabin? Aren't you afraid of getting arrested? Alex Carter doesn't seem like the type to let that kind of thing slide."

"What else can we do? Wait for an engraved invitation?"

Cletus leaned back in his seat, pressing the button to roll his window back up. "Maybe we should think of a new plan. Like maybe we should make nice with the Norman Bates look-alike? What was his name, again?" He pursed his lips in thought before snapping his fingers. "Wally!"

"No, I don't think that'll work. He didn't even want us to take pictures of the woman staying at the cabin, remember?"

"Then what?" Cletus asked.

"We may have to sneak in and out." Jenny laughed. "You up for that Cletus?"

He was watching the dark clouds forming overhead. It looked like another storm was coming in. "In and out like we weren't there? You expect us to not be seen?"

"Exactly." Jenny smiled. "Like a ghost."

"It looks like it's going to rain again," Abby said to no one in particular as she pushed back a gingham curtain

"It looks like it's going to rain again," Abby said to no one in particular as she pushed back a gingham curtain.

"If it rains enough to flood the roads, we may not see Wally tonight," Alex said over her shoulder, his nearness causing her to jump.

Alex smirked. "Did I scare you?"

Abby brushed back a lock of hair with her fingers. She cleared her throat and shrugged. "No, you just surprised me that's all."

"You're very jumpy. Has anyone ever told you that before?"

Abby didn't respond.

"Well, if Wally doesn't come tonight, I guess we can expect a pretty tame evening," Alex murmured.
