Day 63: Callahan's Grocer
A few bucks got him the local rag, which was everything a small-town newspaper dreamed of being, and a bottle of something that claimed to be fair-trade coffee. S.T. wasn't sure it had any caffeine in it. It was sweeter than donut-shop coffee after you accidentally lost half a cinnamon bun in it while dipping, though, so he was working on something resembling a buzz.
Which got sucker-punched off the porch and under a buses wheels by the bulletin board. Peter and some girl hadn't just disappeared, they'd been killed. And Peter's stuff had been handed out, so he wasn't going to be coming back.
Didn't mean they shouldn't keep trying. If Peter'd gotten himself killed because they were getting too close to the truth, that went double. S.T. didn't have a death wish, but people had tried to kill him before. New baseline for his life, maybe. Adrenaline as default. He was going to need more coffee.
