About this ebook
Bae figured out he wasn't like most of the guys in his small home town pretty quickly, which is why he wants out. His only route is college and for that he needs money. When he sees an ad in the local paper for a house sitter with very good rates he jumps at it. What he soon finds out it that it's a person sitting job as well. Jim Jones and his brother Steve are new to town and Steve is temporarily blind thanks to an accident. The job involves looking after the house and Steve while Jim is out of town.
That wouldn't be so bad, except Steve has an attitude problem and something about the two brothers just doesn't seem quite right. Bae is not sure what he has gotten himself into, but it's definitely not what he was expecting.

THREE BULLETS
Adventures in House Sitting
CLUTCHING THE NEWSPAPER to his chest, Bae walked up the steps of the house. He hoped being five minutes before time was okay. He'd actually been outside the house for nearly half an hour—he was pathologically early for everything.
When the door opened, he looked up ... and up ... and up. The man standing there was huge to say the least. Bae took after his mom's side of the family, short and petit, but he'd never felt quite so short as he did at that moment.
Mr Jones?
he asked, hoping he didn't sound as nervous as he felt.
That's me, kid,
Mr Jones replied, but it's Jim to everyone except the tax man. You must be Bae.
Bae nodded; he'd called ahead about the job. When he'd seen it in the paper, he'd jumped at it immediately, because it paid really well. His dad was determined not to give Bae and his brothers a free ride through life, and before he could go to college, Bae needed to earn a percentage of his tuition. Bae really, really wanted out of Fountains Rock and college was his only route.
Come in,
Jim said and stepped out of the way for him to enter.
The man was so large that he still had to sidle in. Jim appeared to be built like the Terminator.
Kitchen's this way,
Jim said, leading him down the hall; most business is done over the kitchen table in this house.
It was said in a warm tone, but Bae couldn't help being incredibly nervous. The advertisement had been for someone to housesit with a few other duties and Jim was definitely not what Bae had been expecting. The man didn't sound so big on the phone.
Coffee?
Yeah, thanks.
Bae tried to sound relaxed and in control, but when Jim offered him a chair he sat down and didn't say anything while Jim made the drinks.
So, the job,
Jim said, also sitting down, but not seeming to shrink in height very much, "you must be wondering
