Chapter 1



THE ONE WHO FELL





THE word "concerned," says the dictionary, means to be affected, disturbed, troubled or anxious.



One of the men was concerned.



The other man was just grim. So grim that his cheek muscles stood out in hard knots in front of his ears, making him look like a large gopher with two walnuts in its mouth.
