Chapter Seven — Gabe

“Believe me, when I know something I’ll pass it on.” I hung up the phone and felt a bit discouraged. Word had gotten out about the vandalism, and now Sea Crest appeared to have second thoughts about sending us the whales. I couldn’t believe they’d actually try to back out of the deal but if I wasn’t careful, that was exactly what would happen. Obviously, they had concerns about the safety of the animals they’d be sending to our care, but was that really necessary?

Up until this incident, Sea Lab had never had to worry about the animals being in danger. Sure, we’d had occasional drama from PETA and other groups that didn’t agree whales and dolphins should ever be in captivity, but none of these groups would do something to hurt the animals. That would defeat their entire purpose.

I was sure what had happened was nothing but sheer teenage stupidity. The detective working on the case claimed to have some leads on who was responsible and all I could do for now was to wait and see what happened.

From my office window, I had a good view of Singh’s pool below and he looked happy today. Thankfully, his tank was clean and ready for playtime and it had been nice having Pepper around the day before. She’d dove right in—literally, just to make sure her favorite animal was okay.

Bobbie Jo had asked about her again this morning. Apparently, she’d developed quite an appreciation for her former blonde nemesis. “Singh doesn’t work with anyone like he does with Pepper. Get her back here. Hire her, if you have to. We need her. She can work with all the dolphins! I imagine the whale guy is going to need some help. You know I’m dying to work with them.”

“The whale guy? You mean Roger?” He would be coming with the whales from Sea Crest to serve as an expert animal caregiver while they adjusted to life at Sea Lab.

“Yeah, him. He needs me.”

If gossip was to be trusted, it seemed Roger and Bobbie Jo were an item, but I wasn’t about to bring that up. Instead, I simply nodded. “You’re probably right. I’ll see what I can do. This week—I promise!”

“Thanks!” Bobbie Jo left happy and I decided to take a little time out from the office but before I left, I called Pepper in the hope she could join me for lunch later on.

“Hey! What’s up, babe?” she answered in her pretty, soft voice that warmed my heart and made my thoughts drift to waking up with her in my arms.

I smiled. “Just thinking about you. Can we have lunch today? You have plans?”

“Aw, that’s so sweet. Sadly, no can do. Although, trust me, I’d much rather be with you, but Mills and I have a busy day today. We’ve had her baby scanned already and now we have to go to see Fallon with the pictures then she’s meeting Evangeline for lunch to break the news to her as well and I promised Mills I’d go with her.
