7:43pm
Matt pulled the dark blue truck into the driveway beside the Suburban. With their arms full of Chinese take-out food bags, he and Peter headed into the house.
"Honey, we're home!" Matt exclaimed upon entering the house.
"And we brought food!" Peter added.
Anton, Claire and Lindsay came into the kitchen to help. While unwrapping and serving the take-out, Matt asked, "Anton, did you get the results back yet?"
"As a matter of fact I did," he said. "Peter's completely normal."
"Well..." Matt was the only one to say something, but everyone smiled and had a skeptical look on their faces. Even Peter laughed at himself.
"But really, there was nothing abnormal about the brain-wave patterns. They were normal for someone experiencing a nightmare. You were scared, that's all," Anton told Peter.
"Yeah, you can say that again," he agreed.
They all sat down to eat and said nothing more about the case. |
