I rolled my eyes. "That's even worse."
"Get out of here with that check before I kick you in the nuts," she said.
"See," I quipped as I began to walk through the house, "that's both brusque and clear."
Helen snorted and held open the front door. "A favor for a favor. Are we agreed?" She held out her hand and I shook it. "Agreed."
The ghoul came lumbering through the house. "Let me guess," he growled, "she gave you the check back?"
I shrugged and hurried out of the house, hoping I could catch the bank still open.
Helen shut the door behind me.
She was a weird lady.
