Once again, I've given up on catching up and apologize for anything I say that's already been said.
The first thing is a question, and probably a dumb one. When they said that there was a car parked by the building, and then added the "abandoned" (if I remember correctly), are they saying the car was abandoned, or that it was an abandoned building? It seems odd to call a car abandoned if it was only there for 5 hours. I've been going over this in my head almost constantly since I first read it, and t finally occurred to me that with all of the brains here, somebody has probably figured it out!
The other thing that keeps coming back to me is a description of the guy. I'm trying to figure out if I made him up at some point, or if he was described this way by someone else. I hope someone can help. What I believe about him is that he's 29 years old, 5'10, 189#, medium/light brown hair with a reddish tint (not auburn or strawberry blonde, just a tint of red). He has greenish eyes, fairly heavy, but not dark, eyebrows, a bit of facial hair, but not a real beard or mustache, either a bad complexion or scars from previous problems with it. He's not fat, slender or muscular, and doesn't give the impression that he's athletic. I guess the last thing is that I believe his hips are wider (proportionately) than his shoulders, which does give the impression from some angles/stances of being slightly overweight. As I've been writing this out, it's seeming more and more likely that it's how I imagine him. If this is too out there, please just ignore it - I already know how weird it probably sounds to everybody else (and me too, if I think about it!) Thanks for reading if you did, and I do hope I can at least get my first question answered.
MOO, I guess.
