PANTIES IN A BUNCH âCause Your Car Wonât Start? Use Camel-Tow!
Thatâs what was printed on the magnetic sign on the door of the tow truck. Next to it was a picture of a woman in tight white pants sporting a camel toe, complete with arrows pointing to it as if making sure no one missed it.
No one could. Garrett Granger was certain of that.
Garrett tried to call his sister and mom to see if they knew what was going on. No answer from either of them, but he left messages for them to call him back. Then, he got off his horse and walked closer to get a better look at things and make sure he hadnât misread the sign on the flamingo-pink tow truck.
Nope, no misreading.
And his eyes hadnât deceived him about the other things he was seeing, either. The person whoâd driven that truck to the Granger Ranch had apparently not only trespassed but had also broken into his great-grandfatherâs house.
Such that it was.
Garrett had always thought of the place as more of an ancestral eyesore than an actual house. But hell in a big-ass handbasket, it was his eyesore. Or rather his familyâs.
His great-grandfather, Z. T. Granger, had built the monstrosity nearly a hundred years ago and had chosen it as his final resting place. Z.T.âs grave was in the backyard. The old guy probably hadnât counted on the place becoming a mecca for squatters or whatever the heck this was.
It wasnât as if the eyesore had a welcoming appearance, either. It was painted a dull shade of purple, the color of an old bruise, and the shutters were urine yellow. To complete the god-awful curb appeal, there was a slime-green front door rimmed with milky red stained-glass panels.
The place didnât scream âYâall, come on in now and make yourselves at home.â
Garrett went even closer to see if he could spot a familiar face or anything that would help him make sense of his trespassing-squatter-mecca theory. There was a woman sweeping the porch, another raking the yard, and he could see yet a third woman in a window on the second floor. She had a feather duster and appeared to be clearing out cobwebs. A little girl was playing in the area by the open gate.
They werenât sneaking around, werenât trying to hide, so if these were indeed squatters or run-of-the-mill trespassers, they were either bold or stupid. Or maybe this was some kind of cleaning fetish cult.
Still, why had they driven here in a tow truck?
Garrett heard the galloping sound behind him, and he glanced over his shoulder to see his cousin Lawson. Lawson dismounted before his horse had even fully stopped, and he made a beeline toward Garrett.
Together, Lawson and he ran the Granger Ranch, another of Z.T.âs legacies, and now the two of them stood side by side studying the Gothic house and the people meandering around it.
