. I'm not sure I was even thinking. Reacting to the emotion was about the best I could manage and that just barely.I heard footsteps approaching and P...eggy screamed, followed by Lilly's shriek and Izzy's gasp.Still holding the table tightly I forced myself to my feet and cast my eyes about blindly.'Sit down and shut up, all of you!' the darkness inside me rasped out thru my throat.I listened closely and heard chairs being pulled away from the table.
