Two Weeks Later, September 16, 1967
Garrett swept up the dirt off the floor. Garrett had jumped at the chance to help Bates prepare a house for sale and spend the morning alone, away from his apartment. The old place smelled better than it had earlier in the morning when he started. Opening windows, Pine Sol, and a good wipe down helped bring the grand dame back to life. Maybe someone would buy her and return her to her former glory. Garrett would love to buy the place and turn it into a bed and breakfast, but the finances weren’t there.
The project kept him out of the house and other things off his mind. He hadn’t seen or talked to Eron since he had dropped him off. At Eron’s house, Garrett’d talked to Helen and at work, Eron’s secretary, but Eron hadn’t returned a single call. Garrett’d gotten complaints at the bank with his constant asking about phone messages.
