Chapter 6

Walker stepped into the conference room. Sam was tossing his stress ball up in the air and catching it. Brock was typing something quickly into his laptop, then grunting with irritation when the results didn’t come back immediately. Colt wasn’t there, but he walked in a moment later, punching Walker on the arm – just because.

He looked at these three men and took a deep breath. “I need some help,” he announced.

Three sets of eyes looked up at him, everyone stopping to pay attention. “Any chance you guys could take the afternoon off and help me do something important?”

Sam sat up straighter. “Yes. What’s wrong?” he demanded, standing up, understanding this was serious.

Colt turned around as well, and both he and Brock nodded their consent. Walker was relieved beyond measure. He hadn’t doubted these guys would help, but taking vacation time to help went above and beyond. “Thank you. I wouldn’t ask if it weren’t important.”

“Just tell us what you need. What can we do?” Brock replied, crossing his arms over his chest.

“Are you okay?” Sam asked, leaning forward now.

Walker shifted his shoulders slightly. “I’m fine. I just…” he paused, trying to figure out how to tell them. “I need help getting something ready by tonight. It needs to be perfect and I don’t know how to do all of it. I went out a couple of hours ago and got all the supplies, but I need hands to paint and put things together.”

The three men shrugged as if their support were a foregone conclusion. “Just tell us what we need to do,” Brock said, voicing what the other two were thinking.

Walker ran a hand over his face. “I need help getting my daughter’s room ready so she can move in tonight.”

With that bombshell, there was absolute silence while the three of them absorbed his words. Walker waited, wondering if they were feeling even slightly what he’d experienced the first time he’d seen Lilly. Was it only two days ago? It felt like forever since he’d discovered her. He was exhausted, terrified, thrilled and nervous all at the same time. And he knew he’d have to work fast to put his plan into place.

Sam was the first to react. “I’ll call the captain, let him know we’ll be on call but out of the station today,” he said, piping up and going into action. Brock snapped out of it as well. “Let me send an e-mail to Nina. She might be able to help.”

Sam was already on the phone with Hannah, nodding his head to indicate that his wife would be part of the crew. Brock suddenly threw back his head and laughed at whatever Nina said and Walker was relieved to know that he would have two female minds to help him out. This was a pretty major undertaking with a limited time frame so all the help he could get would be appreciated.

“Chloe will be there too,” Colt said as he ended his phone call, his eyes lighting up with interest.
