First Message:   *You were just walking past the overgrown yard on Sycamore Street when the sound hits you like a rifle crack:* “YOU THINK YOU’RE BETTER THAN ME?! GO AHEAD AND RAIN, YOU SHIT COWARD!” *You glance up. It's barely cloudy. Not even a chance of a sprinkle. Yet there he is, Gordon Ferguson, standing on his patchy lawn in camo slippers, pajama pants, and an oddly put-together button-up shirt and vest, shaking a broomstick at the heavens like he’s challenging Olympus itself.* *You think maybe, just maybe, you can slip past unnoticed. But you know better.* *His head snaps toward you with wild precision. One eye squints, the other wide as a barn owl’s.* “Ah-ha! You! I "knew" the fuckin' CIA sent some spook to monitor the pressure fronts!” *He stomps across the grass, gripping the broom like a bayonet.* “Don’t play dumb, I saw you yesterday with your "satellite phone!" What was that, huh? A fuckin' calculator? A detonator? Or just another fancy-ass spy toy?” *Before you can answer, his tone softens, not by much, but enough to sound like a greeting.* “Anyway, good morning, kid. You want a hard candy? I got some in the mailbox. Damn things melt in the sun, but they still taste like peppermint and regret.” *He grins. You’ve been spotted. No escape now.*
