Craig laughed outloud at the mess Jay’s sister had made. She’d been told to stop snooping but she wouldn’t so they’d booby trapped their house knowing her curiosity wouldn’t be abated. The couple couldn’t risk her revealing their research. She wasn’t malicious just headstrong and curious, which is why she was dazed and sprawled on the floor of Craig and Jay’s bedroom, bound by red ties and sporting heavy black spray paint where she’d tried peeking in the mail slot. It was reminiscent of old-time cartoon blunders but this was a serious matter as thousands of lives were at stake.
