Excerpt
JULES PEEKED.
THE intruder had a walking stick and was tap- tapping the stone floor as his
feet shuffled across the library ground. Except or the light from his lantern,
a rusty can with a stumpy candle within, the old library was as dark as a cave.
He kept his lantern low, making it impossible to see his face.
He and Miranda
turned their dragonfly lanterns off just as they’d heard the door creak open as
it slid on its tracks. From behind a particularly dusty book, Jules peered at
the dark form shuffling and waving his stick as though testing every bit of
stone on the floor. Jules felt his nose tingle as the moments wore on.
Then it
happened. He sneezed. The muffled explosion wasn’t loud, but in the dead
silence of the library with only the intruder’s shuffling feet and the distinct
tapping of the stick, it might as well have been a blast.
Instantly, the
tapping and shuffling ceased. From almost nowhere the metal tip of a stick
rapped Jules gently on the crown of his head. “Come out,” the intruder
demanded, voice stern and angry.
Jules could
hardly believe it.
