While Bubba listened in, I called Senator Evans’ number and gave my name to his secretary.

“Sara, this is a nice surprise,” he said seconds later.

“I’ve had a cancellation, Senator. I can do a couple hours a day if that helps.”

“That’s wonderful. It helps indeed.”

“I’m curious, however, Senator.”

“What’s on your mind?”

“You never asked about my experience or qualifications. Do you always hire people on a whim?”

“Quite the contrary. My chief of staff checked you out thoroughly before I called earlier.”

Bubba frowned. I braced myself. Was he going to blow my cover?

“I know you’ve had a rough life,” he continued, “with even some minor altercations with the law. But you seemed to have righted your ship, and I’m the kind of man who believes hard workers who need a second chance and toe the line require support.”

Wow. Had I misjudged this guy?

“Thank you, then. When should I start?”

“Nine tomorrow morning okay? I’ll get approval from my wife—her name is Maria—but I’m sure she’ll agree. She occupies the suite next to mine at 2800 Bellman Road.”

“Fine. I’ll be there.”

“Guess you’re gonna have to brush up on your bookkeeping,” Bubba said when I hung up.

“It’s just math. How hard can it be?”
