Chapter 17

After petting “the girls” as Denver calls his pussies, Toby looks around the Tudor’s main floor, scoping out its low ceilings, narrow hallways, and tiny rooms. Such rooms consist of a modest living room area to the left, an unused dining room area to the right, and a kitchen in the rear. All are decorated by one of Templeton’s best interior designers, Marshall Patton. And all are tidy, showing no dust, clutter, or broken anything.

Upstairs is just as blah as downstairs. A miniature bathroom sits at the top of twenty-one steps. To the right of the bathroom is Denver’s room, which has baby blue walls, three windows, and a walnut dresser with a high definition Sony television planted on its top. To the left of the dwarf-size bathroom is a second bedroom where guests, which includes Toby, can spend a night or two.
