The neighbors always thought the Hollingsworths were a little strange. It wasn't the kind of strange that worries you or keeps you peering through the blinds in your more suspicious moments. They seemed like a happy family. Maybe it was because they spent so much time together. The kids were fine in school. The parents talked a good game. No one ever really talked about it because they felt way too cynical for polite conversation. Others would surely balk at the notion there was anything wrong with this perfectly happy family that, for once, spent some quality time together. They also didn't want to sound jealous about all the vacations they took.
If only they knew the family was for hire. Drug kingpins, ruthless dictators, and terrorists fell to their knees when these four took a week off in their town. They had it made too, at least until a neighborhood feud hit a little too close to home...
