Chapter 45: A Natural

Kel watched for a moment as Maggie was able to capture the kids’ attention. It left the gargoyles to clean up the goblins. They did that quickly, dropping the bodies far away. Hopefully animals would eat them before anyone saw what they were.

When the bodies were gone and the kids were clearly getting restless, Kel approached Maggie, then turned to the crowd. “We’re going to call the police, but Mr. Foley will stay here until they arrive. There is nothing to be afraid of. We’ll make sure you’re taken care of.”

Maggie wasn’t there when he turned back. Neither was Billy Malone. Where had she taken him? She didn’t think they could get far in this neighborhood.

“Deke, I’m going to look for Maggie.”

“Sure. Did the cops get called?”

“Yes.”
