Chapter Three – Unfamiliar Places, a.k.a. the Library
Wyatt pulled into the parking lot of the Downtown San Francisco Public Library. He drove into an empty parking spot and turned off the keys to his blue mustang. Both doors opened as Wyatt and Chris climbed out of the car. The met at the back of the car and headed toward the building.
As they walked, Chris asked, “Do you really think you’ll find anything you haven’t before?”
Wyatt shrugged. “We don’t know until we try. There are a lot of things in those books that isn’t on the internet.”
“That sounds like my line,” Chris teased.
Wyatt shrugged, again, and walked in silence
The check out room of the library was empty except for a young woman, Terah McComiskey, sitting at the checkout counter. She was in her late teens and had her nose deep in a book. The sound of the door opening, to let Wyatt and Chris in, caused her to look up. “Welcome.” She popped a bubbled made from gum in her mouth. The movement of her head brought notice to the pink tips of her long brown hair.
Chris blinked at her in surprise.
Wyatt didn’t even notice. He turned to his right and walked through the doors to the hall.
Chris offered Terah an apologetic smile before he turned and followed his brother down the hall.
Unconcerned, Terah shrugged and went back to her book, only three more chapters to go.
Wyatt moved quickly down the hall until he reached the first door of the hallway and turned left to look into the room. The sign above the doorway read “Science-Fiction”. He turned to his brother. “Think we should check here first or science fact in the next room over.”
Chris frowned. “How about we find out which one has UFO sightings.”
Wyatt looked at all the shelves filled with books. “This is going to be a really long day.”
Chris nodded. “Still if it turns anything.”
