    About this ebook

    A SERIES OF DEATHS AND THE WHISPERING THING
    THE MYSTERY BEHIND BARS

    Bullfiro, Tony's abusive father, has escaped, and the news devastates Meg. How she will be able to protect Tony until Bullfiro's back behind bars, she doesn't know. She does know she has Bruce's help. Two adults ready to lay their lives for this one special child should be enough, right?

    But she still does not know about the strange deaths that progressed until Bullfiro's escape.

    She did not know about the mystery behind each death, or that Tony's father has his own imaginary friend, the one he called The Whispering Thing, who knew about people's darkest, ugliest secrets. Obviously, this imaginary friend is the opposite of Bruce.

    Meanwhile, in Tony's little world, he is busy plotting out his guardian's love lives. He has everything in bullet points in his notebook. Such tenacity should bear fruits. Right? Especially when it's obvious, even to him, that Bruce and Meg are right for each other. Right?

    Bullfiro and The Whispering Thing are coming.

    Then a visitor in the middle of the night brings with her a secret that will tell what really are Bruce and The Whispering Thing.

    “Okay. We should decide on a movie,” Meg said, now settled.

    “Actually, I had a movie in mind. I mean if that’s not a problem,” Tony said.

    “I don’t see why it should be,” Meg answered.

    “Great!”

    With that, Tony took control of the remote. After searching through the movie streaming service Meg had, he eventually found the perfect movie. Bruce supposed he should have been suspicious when he noticed the movie was in the romance category. But he chalked it up to the streaming service placing it in the wrong genre.

    That theory was changed quickly when Tony looked up at the two adults expectantly.

    “I hear this movie is good,” he said.

    “Did you? Are you sure?” Bruce asked in a tone that suggested disbelief.

    “What exactly are we watching?” Meg asked, the same tone of disbelief in her own voice.

    “It’s a movie about a guy and a girl who meet at a library and after a series of ridiculous events they end up together. Then they live happily ever after,” Tony explained. “That type of movie.”

    Bruce and Meg glanced at each other from the corner of their eyes. In their silence, each of them believed the other was thinking the same thing.

    “No offense, kiddo, but that sounds kind of like a romance movie,” Bruce said.

    “It is,” Tony said bluntly.

      Chapter One

      ONCE DONE CRUISING the grocery store aisles, Meg and Bruce made their way to the checkout counter with a cart full of groceries.

      It was a short walk, given the size of the store. Shop Box was by far the largest store in town. Bulk and low prices were its claim to fame, along with the store's incredibly simple-looking, half-witted mascot.

      It was a box of all things. A brown, cardboard box with eyes and a mouth. Its mouth was a perpetual doltish smile. Meg recalled that its name began with a B. She was reasonably sure there was probably a box pun involved.

      Whatever the name, it was still a very unimaginative mascot in her opinion.

      Bruce had his own thoughts about the grinning caricature. Every time he looked at the pictures of the mascot strewn all around the store, he would frown as if it offended him somehow.

      Meg used this time to eliminate some of the junk food from her cart by placing a few cellophane-wrapped packages onto random shelves. She was still convinced double-dipped chocolate-sauce-covered cookies were a one-way ticket to Heartattackville, offered to all unsuspecting patrons in a neatly-packaged bulk box.

      It was certainly worth it to get the cauliflower into the cart.

      Are you sure we can't get that huge bag of marshmallows back there? Bruce asked as he looked longingly over his shoulder back at the treats.

      Yes, I'm sure, Meg said firmly. We have enough junk. I don't know if it's possible for you to get sick from all of it, but the last thing I want to do is give Tony diabetes.

      Fair point, Bruce relented despite the pout on his face.

      Meg couldn't help but notice that wasn't the only time she had witnessed a childish response from Bruce. Despite his occasional lapses into immaturity, he'd never behaved in a completely irritating manner. If anything, Meg found it simultaneously charming and goofy in an odd way.

      That perplexed Meg. All her life she had connected with mature people on an intimate level. Their patient but no-nonsense worldviews resonated deeply within her, as if they shared an unspoken bond of sincerity, purpose, and inner motivation to make the most of what life had to offer. Her job could be incredibly challenging and left precious little time for frivolity. Daily goals were set and frequently achieved due to her relentless drive and single-minded focus.

      So immaturity in adults was not her favorite personality trait.

      Yet Bruce somehow made it appealing.

      I've been meaning to ask you something, Meg said as she tried to think of another subject. Just how do you eat? It seems you have no problem with that, yet there are things you can't do that make no sense. Like the fact that you can't actually touch anyone. No offense, but that seems weird to me.

      Bruce paused for a moment, contemplating.

      "You know, Meg... in all honesty, I'm not sure exactly why that is. All that stuff is odd, I do agree. But it's like I told you before-I've been like this since I can remember, and somehow I've never really let it interfere with how I live my life, Bruce answered after several seconds. Believe me, I've tried to come up with theories on how I'm able to work and still manage to deal with my... idiosyncrasies. But I really don't have an answer-for myself, for you, for anyone. Whatever it is, I'm sure it's the same reason people can actually affect me when they see me. Like, that time you punched me in the gut. No one else besides Tony could do that. Also, don't ever do that again please. It really hurt."

      Don't give me a reason to and I won't, Meg teased.

      She playfully punched Bruce on the shoulder and Bruce dramatically flinched, just as a mother and her
