“Aunt Dottie!” Vegas hollers as we reach the top steps. “We found Burt!”

“Over here, kid.” Dottie holds her flashlight up, waving us over. Her eyes get bigger as we get closer. “Why is Burt glowing?”

“Actually, that’s a funny story.” Vegas turns around and bats her eyelashes at me, and I give her my best try-it-and-see-what-happens glare.

“One we will spare you of,” I cut in.

That little fucker almost took off my finger when we were down there. For whatever reason, he wasn’t budging. He found his spot and was happy right where he was at. I wanted to leave him. He found his way down there, he could have found his way back up.

Vegas, on the other hand, was worried. Apparently, she has taken a liking to the smoking goat and refused to come up without him. Her solution: the glo-necklace—which Burt didn’t have a problem with until Vegas decided why don’t we crack it and make it glow.

Wrong move.

Burt Reynolds snapped his head back when I was putting the make-shift collar around his neck, trying to nip the plastic and getting my finger instead. Blood went everywhere, and yes, I screamed like a bloody bitch baby.

“Doesn’t he look cute.” Dottie comes a little closer and tugs on the glowing red collar. “Let’s go get—huh—is that…?” Dottie rattles as she bends down a little closer to examine the fur.

Vegas stands on her tiptoes. Hiding her face with her hair, she whispers, “Shhh—she only sees the red glow.”

“Never mind.” She flashes us a toothy grin. “Burt, let’s go light one up.”

I whistle. “That was close.”

“It sure was.” Vegas lets out a cute little giggle.

Cute giggle?

What in the hell has gotten into me?

Vegas Manilow, that’s what.

Clearing my throat, Vegas turns to face me. “Should we go look for those batteries?” I throw my thumb over my shoulder. “I thought I saw a box of batteries in the office.”

“Grant, your finger.” Vegas reaches for my hand, cradling it in both of hers. “This is pretty bad.” She twists it from side to side.

“It’s fine.” I pull away, not wanting her to make a fuss over this. “We have a building full of people who have nowhere to go. This is the least of our worries.”

“Are you sure about that? I’m not sure if Burt is up to date on all his shots.” She grabs ahold of my hand again.

“Shots?” I ask. “You mean like rabies?” My eyes widen at the thought of having to get a round of shots. Not that I can’t handle a needle, but thirty of them? It’s a lot for any one person to think about.

“I’m kidding. The vet makes regular visits.” She pats my shoulder. “He’s clean.” She nods. “Now, why don’t you be a good little patient and let nurse Vegas take care of you.”

“Hmm…” I close my eyes.

“Are you?” she questions, and my eyes slowly open. “Oh my God, Grant! You just pictured me in a naughty nurse’s uniform, didn’t you?”

Guilty.

“Who said anything about naughty?” I tilt my head to the side and let my imagination run wild.
