No light, no sound, no shadows,  to all outward appearances the house was empty, but she'd just seen the two punks jimmy the basement window and climb inside.  Elspeth asked herself what she was doing, an overweight, out of shape civilian following a couple of strong healthy young men up to no good.  What if she got out of her pickup and snuck up to the window to look inside?  What would they do if they found out she'd seen them?  "Hell!  Sitting here in my truck isn't helping the cause any," she said to herself as she pocketed her keys and pushed open the door.
