Excerpt
"There's something back there."
"Back where, what is it, Ree?"
"I don't know. It looks like.... "
I pushed past Merlin toward the two big cans. His crazed actions stopped as strangely as they had started, and he wagged his feathery tail slowly. The look in his dark eyes seemed to say, "It's about time!" His stare made my stomach lurch. He stood stock still, trembling slightly as I grabbed the handle of one of the cans and hauled on it with all my strength.
It moved aside.

...and it still had a foot in it.
