Thad worked for over an hour pulling weeds. He had filled both waste sacks. Sitting back on his haunches, he surveyed his work. It seemed to him he had done a pretty fair job. The sun was high in the sky by this time and the afternoon heat was building He took off his shirt and looked at the pool. The water sure was inviting. His mind returned to Iggy’s invitation to swim and hang out. The time was at hand. Thad shivered despite the warmth of the sun.
He wasn’t sure where Iggy would want the bags of weeds to go and he was pretty thirsty. So he ran out to his car, got his swim shorts, and went around to the back door to let Iggy know he was finished. Remembering Iggy said not to bother knocking, Thad pushed the door open and went inside.
The back door led to a laundry area. Beyond that
