"Account of Courtney & Jeremy | whizzper | 6

 

Jeremy started moving around the house towards the backyard entrance. As he got to the gate the Jones' neighbor stepped out of her front door with a bag of garbage in her hand, he nodded his greeting as he opened the gate and walked into the back yard.

Jeremy walked over towards the sliding door. On the table next to the lounger he saw a blueberry muffin and a tall glass of OJ just sitting there. He nodded figuring that definitely meant someone was home.

He stepped up to the sliding door and pulled, but the door didn't budge. He tried again, but it still didn't budge in the slightest. "What the..." Jeremy muttered to himself. He looked over at the OJ, and walked over and picked it up. It was warm. It had been sitting here for a while. "They're not here..." Jeremy muttered to himself.

Dejected he started back towards his car, a lump the size of the the Rock of Gibraltar in his throat.

"Jeremy are you here to see Courtney?"

Jeremy stopped and turned to the old lady. "Uh...yeah."

"Oh, well, they left here about a fifteen minutes ago. Said something about going to the Jones Pub for lunch."

Jeremy perked up, and gave the old lady a hearty smile, "Thanks Mrs. K." He started off again then stopped and turned around again, "Uh...How was Courtney? I mean was she happy...or...something else?"

"I told her happy birthday, and...I don't know. She smiled but it wasn't her normal smile, you know?"

"Okay...I'll go over that and see what's up."

 

What does Jeremy find at the Pub when he gets there?
