Cougar: Part 3

By HELEN V. GRIFFITH

Light flashed as the house door opened. A woman rushed out, calling, "Josiah, Josiah, is it you?"

They had to go through a little fuss then, the woman hanging on to Joe, dragging him in the door, Joe coming back out, beckoning to Starla and Nickel.

They passed through a vestibule piled with newspapers and into a stuffy, dim kitchen. The woman was half crying, holding Joe away from her to look at him, hugging him again, Joe half laughing, patting her on the back when she hugged him.

A man came to the kitchen door, stood scowling. A blue TV light flickered from the room behind him. The mother was really crying now.
