”I’m getting the stone back for all of us.” Jo said as she stood there staring at a photo of her family on the wall. Unsure as to how she was going to break into the mansion that Sarah lived in overlooking the 18th hole of the golf resort, Jo had changed into a black pair of jeans and a black t-shirt to look more stealthy. As she stood there, she gave the old softball bat pack that hung on her shoulder a tug. ”I need to get moving... I can figure out how I’m breaking in on my way there.” Jo thought hurrying through he kitchen and into the garage. Not exactly sure what she would need for the break in, Jo tossed a pair of wire cutters, a lighter, some paracord, and a hammer into the bat pack that already had a softball bat hanging out of it. ”I’m like a modern day MacGyver.” She thought as she hurried back into the kitchen, through the house, and out into the backyard.
Jo paused for a moment and stared at the thick patch of trees that protected her home from the snooty golf resort. ”It is the most direct route...” She thought before hurrying across the backyard and into the woods. Trudging through the semi dense underbrush of the wooded area, Jo was thankful to have switched into jeans. ”Almost there.” The fairway on the other side of the woods was becoming clearer and clearer to Jo. Picking up her pace Jo pressed forward until she was close to the edge of the woods. ”Wait!” She told herself ducking behind a tree. ”I’m gonna need to be stealthy.” Jo peaked around the tree and saw a couple of golf carts at the tee box. ”I’ll let them go through.” Jo ducked back behind the tree and listened.
PING Golfer number one hit their drive.... A minute or so later... PING Drive number two rocketed out into the fairway... PING The third drive launched from the tee box. Thud thwap! The golf ball bounced off a tree near Jo and back towards the fairway. Jo hunkered down and waited for the fourth drive... PING The final golf flew from the tee box and into the trees on the other side of the fairway.
”Go!” Jo told herself as the golf carts rolled past her hiding place. Jo popped out from behind the tree and hurried across the fairway. Approaching another thicket of trees Jo hid herself behind another tree and scoped out the next fairway. ”Nothing... Wait. There they are.” Jo spied a group of white haired men on the green. ”I’m lucky golf trends male and old...” Jo thought briefly picturing Sarah in her head. ”Why she decided on golf as her niche is beyond me... Or is it?” Jo racked her brain as she waited for the men to finish on the green. ”Wait... Did Sarah rip off another woman?” In her head Jo could picture a blonde and busty golfer that had given up on her middling professional golf career and instead made a lucrative career out of her looks as the sexy golf chick™. While Jo couldn’t place a name to the face, she did suspect that this woman had been Sarah’s inspiration. ”Why can’t I think of her name?.. Eh it doesn’t matter. It seems like Sarah took that woman’s idea and ran with towards the sexy end of the spectrum... Blondie was a much better golfer than Sarah...”
Seeing the old men clear off the green, Jo pulled her bat pack tight and hurried across the fairway to the next patch of trees that protected the row of houses that ran along the fairway. ”I guess I could just head up that way.” Jo thought as she walked along the tree line. Seeing a new group of golfers reach the tee box for the hole Jo was walking down she darted to the other side of the tree line and continued her trek deeper into the golf resort. ”All of these homes... All of this wealth... All from Sarah’s wishes....” Jo thought as she studied the ritzy homes that she walked past.
