Today’s
excerpt is from Toboggan, Book #4 of the nine-book Janitors Series. Snowed in, Mark and Dan are getting grumpy…but
funny grumpy. Enjoy and have a great day.
m.j.
With
the snow coming down even more furiously than it had for two days, Mark looked
out the window in the motel’s bar.
“Damn, Dan. We may never get to
see if we’re right about that lodge being their hideout.”
Dan
nodded his agreement, but remained silent.
Mark
looked at his friend. “A penny.”
“Oh,
just thinking ‘bout that poor girl stranded up there, somewhere on that
stinking mountain. I sure hope that guy
Newman has a clue.”
“Well,
from what we heard, he’s not stupid. Trying
to find a stream to follow downhill. Not
sure I would have thought of that.”
“Oh,
hell, yes, you would have. Don’t try to
humor me, Yomo.”
“Okay,
sorry. I got an idea.”
“Let’s
hear it.”
“Why
don’t you call Pat and tell him I died of boredom. That way he won’t call me again.”
“The
snow’s getting to your brain. God, Mark,
settle in and brood with me. Don’t try
to be funny. I want humor, I’ll go talk
to that waitress we had this afternoon for lunch.”
Mark
laughed. “If she had laughed or called
one of us ‘honeybunch’ one more time, I would have strangled her, right there
in front of God and everybody.”
“No
you wouldn’t. Pat told you to behave.”
“Oh,
yeah.”
