In the next moment, there was an audible click and a beam of light illuminated the length of the park. It flickered rapidly for a few moments before settling on the trunk of the great tree.
Quiet, slow footsteps carefully made their way towards Old Hickory.
I felt a lurch of fear even as Lyle quietly pulled me back into the brush, the sound of our motions obscured by the light wind rustling through the trees. With my eyes adjusted to the darkness of the night, I could make out two figures about a hundred feet away, one holding a flashlight, the other a long-handled implement - probably a shovel. On television, the plucky teen detectives would be celebrating at this point, excited about a breakthrough in the case. I wasn't excited so much as I was having a hard time keeping my bladder from spontaneously emptying.
( 'Hide here. Call the police.' )
