Texas In Ruins - A Sheldon And Meemaw Story

Part 3, actions

It happened on a warm, muggy day. It was only spring, but in Medford Texas it got hot much sooner than other places. Meemaw was kicked back on her couch Ice tea in hand, enjoying the air conditioning, when she saw the car pull up out front of Mary and George's house. She assumed it was just one of Georgie's friends from school, but still kept an eye out in case they had a hot divorced grandfather in the car. She gasped in surprise when she saw who was driving.

It was him. The leader of the pack of boys that had been bullying Sheldon since that fall. The boy walked up the the door and rang the bell, tapping his foot while waiting.
After a few minutes, Sheldon opened the door and stepped outside. Connie was becoming confused. Are they friends afterall? Where was Mary? She decided to keep surveying the situation and intervene if needed..

...

It had been 40 minutes since Sheldon and the boy had gone back the the garage area of the yard, and Connie was getting worried.
"Aw, fuck this." Connie grumbled, getting up and stretching out the stiffness in her joints. As soon as she stepped outside, the heat hit her like a wall. "Ee-eesh, it's HOT out here..." Connie said to herself. She walked over to Mary's yard and swung open the gate. She saw footprints, a set of small loafers, and sporty athletic ones. She was creeped closer to the garage door and looked at it. It was cracked open a tiny bit, so she peeked through. She clamped a hand over her mouth doubling over. What ..what was that??
