Suzie’s House 71: The Outsider
Ben walked the same route he’d walked before, going home to Mom’s house from Dad’s apartment, hoping the red haired man – the one who had tried to give him a ride – would come by. Ben wasn’t sure what he would do when he saw the man, but he’d do something. He would. He really would. He got all the way home, and nothing. He should go back to Dad’s apartment, but he didn’t want to. It wasn’t […]
Suzie’s House 70: Ratatouille
In previous episodes of Suzie’s House Drew decided to take on the investigation into the Smash Master by himself. Refusing to be cut out of the action, Suzie, Vin, and Miranda formed a vigilante group. Following their own leads, and making their own alliances, they try to find the men with the red hair without Drew knowing. . . . Drew clattered some pots and pans together a few times, taking them out of the cupboard then putting them right back. […]
Suzie’s House 69: So Lonely
Ben was so lonely he could die. Dying would be better than living with his father. He knew his mother hadn’t sent him away as punishment, but couldn’t help thinking there must be something wrong with him – some flaw that made it so no one wanted him around. All that time being good, and Mom still sent him away. He was tapping his pencil on his desk in English class, and thinking about how much he wanted to go […]
Suzie’s House 68: When the Cover is Blown
No way Christina would have gone to Todd if she’d known he would blow her cover. All she’d wanted was a little advice. Now look. Suzie, Miranda, and Vin sat together on a leather couch in Todd’s basement, looking at her expectantly. Only Drew, the FBI agent, joining them could have made it worse. “So they know you’re CIA,” Todd said. “Get on with it.” “Did you tell them you were too?” She shouldn’t have snapped at him, but couldn’t […]
Suzie’s House 67 : On Our Side, Sort Of
Previously in Suzie’s House, Vin, Suzie, and Miranda followed Christina to a quiet neighborhood behind Woodman’s then watched her enter the house of a man Vin knows. Miranda stifled a giggle as she closed her car door. Clearly she didn’t take this operation very seriously. “Shhhhh!” Suzie hissed, her expression solemn. To Vin’s mixed horror and amazement, the two women dashed to the nearest tree and peeked around like a couple of kids playing hide and seek. If Christina didn’t […]
Suzie’s House 66: Little Red Corvette
“Would you two cut that out?!” Suzie tried to swat at Vin and Miranda, but the bulk of the front seats hampered her and then the light changed. Cars behind her honked, and Christina’s little red corvette disappeared in heavy traffic. Miranda giggled. In the rear view mirror, Suzie could see her put a hand over her mouth and Vin smirk. It was like playing chauffeur to a couple of teenagers. The thought brought a pang of regret. It could […]
Suzie’s House 65: Grilling Out
Vin dug around in the refrigerator. Although his arm still twinged when he moved the wrong way, he wasn’t so short of breath all the time. He’d been shirking his duties around the house long enough. It was time to cook. He found what he was hoping for on the bottom shelf – four T-bone steaks. Perfect. He took them out of the packages and put them on a plate, with a glance over his shoulder to make sure Suzie […]
Suzie’s House 64: Something to Watch
Disclaimer – although I use the name of a real video store in Madison Wisconsin, the events portrayed in this blog are not specific to them and are not to be taken as a commentary on their policies or procedures. Miranda yanked the metal handle on the door of Four Star Video with far more force than necessary, sending the chicken-wire-in-glass door flying open. It smacked against the brick exterior with an ominously ringing thud, but Miranda charged past without […]
Suzie’s House 63: Brothers in Arms
So what have Sean and Joseph been doing since Drew shot them? . “I’m dieing, Joe. You’ve got to get me to the hospital.” Sean lay on the couch with a knitted afghan pulled up to his chin. The red and blue clashed with Sean’s hair, and make him look pale. More pale. Joseph sat in a matching recliner. He was sweating hard. “You aren’t any worse than me. You’ll be fine.” “This isn’t like With Uncle Seamus in Ireland. […]
Suzie’s House #62: You Can and I Can’t?
Last week, and the week before, we caught Vin and Miranda in bed together. It was not their first time to do it, but it was their first to get caught. Suzie was a bit tipsy at the time, but not so far gone she didn’t know what she was seeing. Suzie hacked off the tops of two carrots with a vicious swing of a cleaver. She knew darn well a cleaver was overkill for […]
Suzie’s House 61: A Compromising Position
We’re going to backtrack in time a little bit this week. Last week we ended with Suzie and Drew coming home from the Cardinal. This week we are starting while they are still there. Vin jerked awake at the sound of the burglar alarm going off. He found himself still sitting in the living room with the remote in his hand, but the TV was off along with all the lights. He almost called out to Miranda or Suzie that […]
Suzie’s House 60: Taking Advantage
She was killing him, all soft and warm and leaning against him. Her eyes were a little blurry with the beer and the lateness of the hour. He told himself not to let her feathery touches go to his head, or rather his lower regions. She couldn’t feel too good about men right now, after having run into her ex, yet she hadn’t gone cold on him. Drew hoped her less-restrained reaction to him had more to do with […]
Suzie’s House 59: Chance Encounter with the Ex
Welcome Fiction Friday readers and Girls Scout Cookie entrants. This is the post to leave a comment in for the chance to win Lemon Chalets. When we left off last week Miranda had gone to the Caribou bar in search of the men who shot Vin and run into the CIA agent Christina instead. Now we return to the Cardinal Bar where Miranda left Drew and Suzie slow dancing. Suzie could feel Drew’s body plastered to hers from breast to thigh. […]
Suzie’s House 58: At Cross Purposes
As Miranda stood to leave, Christina and Cindy paused at the door of the Caribou Bar, glancing around the small, dim interior. “Hey, Christina!” the bartender called. “You know this lady?” He jerked a thumb toward Miranda. Miranda waited tensely for the moment they recognized her. It wasn’t long in coming. The two women put their heads together. Cindy pointed at Miranda. Christina glanced behind her at the door as if considering escape. Then the two of women advanced on […]
Suzie’s House 57: Miranda at the Caribou
You know, Miranda’s a big girl. Sure she left the Cardinal Bar with a bit of attitude, but that doesn’t mean she HAS to get into trouble. Does it? “Come on, Baby. What’s the matter? ‘My not good enough for you?” A month ago, Miranda might have considered the man. He had a good head of hair, broad shoulders, a nice tan, and strong jaw. He also had a full compliment of alcoholic fumes. He was already sitting at the […]
