Millie wasn’t sure she’d just heard her boss correctly. “You want me to ask them what?”

Doc propped himself on the edge of the reception counter. “If they have a cat that’s either in season or close. And if so, would they let us borrow her for a day or two.”

Yes, that’s what she thought he’d said. Just to clarify, “Because we’re going to use them as bait to lure a wild tomcat into the clinic.”’

“Exactly.” Doc gave a decisive nod. “Stress that we’ll take very good care of them and they’ll come to no harm. And in exchange, we’ll make an appointment to have their cat spayed for free.”

Though everyone in town knew Doc’s stance on neutering their pets, Millie had never heard him offer to do the procedure for free. She tilted her head and gave him a look out of the corner of her eyes. “Does Lizzie know about this offer?”

He waved a hand, dismissing the question. “Don’t worry about it. Just make the calls.”

He disappeared through the swinging doors that separated the reception room from the clinic’s examination area. Millie stared after him. If she’d wanted a distraction from her thoughts, here was the perfect one. First, she’d need to go through the files and identify all the female feline patients. The information sheet inside each folder would disclose whether or not the cat had been spayed. From there she’d make a list. She began to relax. Millie liked lists. One could accomplish much if one were working from a well-organized list.

She slid open a drawer and extracted a fresh legal pad. Simply holding a pen poised over the first page gave her a feeling of control. Given the number of client files she had to go through and the resulting phone calls she’d have to make, this task would take the better part of a week to complete. A much-needed distraction from her worries about Alison and her engagement to a Colombian drug lord.

Stop it!

She dismissed the thought, determined not to let Albert’s gloomy predictions get the better of her.
