a horse that had golden eyes with the biggest pupils ever. The man suddenly jumped on the horse and started to ride away. “Let’s follow him” said Lucy. As they did, they thought he might go to the stable to put up his horse. They knew a special shortcut to the old stable. They took the shortcut and found themselves at the old stable rather quickly. As Lucy and Quin went in they saw the man waiting for them. “Why were you watching us?” asked the girls. “I was watching you because Sunny told me to.” he said. Quin and Lucy wondered who Sunny was and as if he was reading their minds he pointed to the horse and said, “Sunny is this horse” after a pause he continued “and I am Lenard Snart.” “You’re the man who killed Nora’s husband!” gasped Quin. As she spoke the horse reared up and spoke, “I am the thing that killed Nora.” The twins gasped as they realized that the horse had killed their great-great-great-great aunt. Quin was scared. She remembered her cell phone and dialed 9-1-1 but all she heard when she put it to her ear was static. So she told Lucy, “Um, Sis the phones don’t work. So let’s improvise. You get the horse and I’ll tackle Snart.” When Quin tackled Snart she pinned him to the ground. He was trying to escape until he disappeared like a ghost right from underneath her. Quin looked to Lucy who was struggling with the reins of the horse. Suddenly there was a deafening boom lasting for several seconds. During the booming noise, Sunny the horse had disappeared. Eerily, they could still hear neighing and the sound of galloping hoof prints fading off in the distance. On the floor of the stable lay an old crum- bling, soggy newspaper.
