“THAT’S IT! I can’t take it anymore!” Lesley sat up straight in bed and looked at the clock. It was 3:42 am. Brant rubbed his eyes and yawned. “What kind of a nutcase grinds coffee at 3:30 in the morning? And then at 3:36. And 3:42.” “I dunno, Kitten. Someone who has mistaken it for […]

“Just a second, guys.” Donald threw out his burger wrapper and jogged across the food court. Alex and Ricky shrugged at each other and watched.
