Jack Reynolds opened the side door of the big barn and stepped inside. Something scurried across the dim area near the back, to quickly for him to identify.
If that was a rat, he thought, it was a damn big one. He walked toward where it had disappeared underneath the hay feeder, bent down to look. Unnerved to see green eyes locked onto his own, he started to pull back, then recognized its shape and smiled.

A cat in the barn should be a good omen. Few rats could reside here, and that would be just fine.
