Chapter Seven

"Burgers are ready," Walker yelled from the other side of the porch.

Heather turned her gaze away from the creek and the sparkles on the water, created by the mid-afternoon sunshine streaking through the canopy of maple and pine trees. It had turned into such a beautiful day but she couldn't seem to keep her mind off her father and the danger they were all in.

With a sigh, she grabbed the empty plate sitting on one of the wicker chairs and handed it to Walker without really looking at him.

"You okay?" he asked.

She nodded. "Yeah. I'm sorry," she replied with a light laugh she knew would come across as fake. "I'm just thinking."

"About what?" He used the spatula to place the hamburgers on the plate as he waited for her to answer.

"This whole situation. How long are we going to have to stay in hiding? As much as I love it here, I'll go stir crazy before too much longer."

Walker snorted. "You? Get stir crazy? I would have never imagined." She scrunched her nose at him and he snickered. "We'll just have to follow your dad's lead on this one, Heather. It shouldn't be too much longer."

"I was supposed to start a job next week."

He raised his head, looking at her in surprise. "Really. Where?"

She cringed, turning to pluck a splinter from the porch railing. He would be livid, she just knew it and to be honest, she hadn't really decided whether or not she would take it.

She had a degree in economics and business. She didn't know how to run a security company. "At Moore-Prescott and Associates." She glanced at him from the corner of her eye and almost grinned at the shocked look on his face. Oh, yeah. He was pissed.

"You were going to work for the security company your father and I own together?"

She nodded and turned to face him. Leaning her back against the railing, she braced herself for one of his infuriated tirades. Although she hoped that after today, he might take the news a little bit better.

"Daddy didn't tell you?"

"No," he replied, narrowing his eyes. "What happened to wanting to work the stock exchange?"

"I hated the internship, Walker. I love economics, numbers, but I hated the floor of the exchange. Daddy offered me a job as vice president of the security company, just until I decided what I wanted to do. He thought my minor in business would be good—"

Walker tossed the plate onto the ledge extending from the side of the grill with a clang and she flinched. This wasn't going well at all.

"Why are you angry?" she asked, becoming angry herself. She thought about telling him she hadn't decided if she would take it and truthfully, she doubted she would, but after seeing his reaction, to hell with it. She'd take the damn job just to spite him.

"I'm not angry."

"Yes, you are.
