Here's an excerpt from my book for your reading pleasure:
"Jameson's
got it at his shop," said Xavier. "You
must get it while we distract them. Do
you think he'll be able to manage? Pull
it off as you might say?”
"Who?"
said Mrs. Steers. Once again, with their
backs to him, Sam didn't hear Xavier's answer.
Mrs. Steers shook her head then paced in a small circle. "I've got a bigger problem to deal with
first. I have my work cut out for
me. He's lost... He's so lost at a young age. I'm going to have to convince him. Show him I'm serious. Maybe I need some outside help."
“You keep
working on him," said Xavier putting on his top hat. "It's going to be tough. Regardless, we have to get there soon. It needs to be safe. We must discover what they are trying to
place.”
“Don't worry
about that. Rose and Ari are working on
that. They seem to think it's something
small this time.”
“Whatever
happens, you can count on Xavier Graff!”
With that, Xavier
Graff gave Mrs. Steers a hug and peck on the cheek. He walked back across the
street and turned tipping his top hat to her just as a van drove by. After it passed,
he was gone. Sam glanced around as best he could from
behind the screen door, but there was no sign of Xavier Graff. He had vanished. Sam stared in disbelief over his
disappearance, then shook his head and went upstairs.
