Someone Should Save Her
Page 19
But the sun was rising higher in the sky. The shadows were shrinking. Birds sang to one another in the branches of the trees. Mom’s wind chime tinkled happily on the front porch.
I walked into the garage, hoping that I could spend my entire Saturday in bed.
I unlocked the door to the house, stepped inside and—
“Where have you been!?”
Mom.
Dad.
They were both standing there in the kitchen, twin, sick looks painted on their faces.
I sighed. Busted.
And there was nobody left who could save me from this.

Author’s Note
Thanks for reading! If you want to know immediately when future books become available, take sixty seconds and sign up for my NEW RELEASE EMAIL ALERTS by CLICKING HERE. I don’t sell your information and I only send out emails when I have a new book out. The reason you should sign up for this is because I don’t always set release dates, and even if you’re following me on Facebook (robertJcrane (Author)) or Twitter (@robertJcrane), it’s easy to miss my book announcements because … well, because social media is an imprecise thing.
Come join the discussion on my website: http://www.robertjcrane.com!
Cheers,
Robert J. Crane

Once again, the illustrious illustrator Karri Klawiter produced the cover. artbykarri.com is where you can find her amazing works.
Thanks to the great Kate Hasbrouck, my co-author (yeah, her name's not Lauren – there are reasons, we'll talk about it someday), who has been a wonderful collaborator.
