Looking Around the Garden
Philip introduced himself to the man standing before him, whose name was Simon. Expressing admiration for his gardening skills, Philip asked for some advice about his own garden. Simon, pausing for a moment, looked Philip up and down, almost like he was trying to see if he was hiding anything.
Choosing not to see Philip as a threat, he let him into the backyard. Philip entered, only half paying attention to Simon’s small talk as he scanned the garden around him. Philip was unsure of what exactly he was looking for. But then, out of the corner of his eye, something caught his attention.
