After the introductions, AJ sat next to Sam Mullins at the restaurant. Her first impression was that he liked women and enjoyed talking to them. She was rarely wrong on that. He ran a hand through his thick, short brown hair when he turned to answer a question from Maddie, and he had done his homework. He thanked her and Tag for their service and asked Grace how she was feeling. Maddie had described him perfectly. He had a fit body with big hands and moved easily, comfortably.

AJ asked about his military experience. His eyes lingered on Maddie before he turned to AJ.

“I didn’t like it.” He smiled, not the least apologetic. “I enlisted after I graduated from MIT and was a part of Desert Storm. When my tour was over, I came home to the private sector as a micro-electronics engineer, married my girl from college, also an engineer, and we were happy as clams in Arizona.” He took a breath. “I assume Maddie has explained the rest?” He looked around the table and they nodded. “Okay then,” he said and leaned back in his chair.

AJ again noticed his voice and pleasant appearance. People would talk with him easily. She would be working with him every day and didn’t want an experience like Jock.

“We have our task force meeting tomorrow morning,” she said. “You’ll meet everyone else then. You’ve read our notes?”

“Yes, but it looks as if you’re right at the beginning. Is that correct?” AJ nodded and he continued. “This is what I’ve been doing in Park Falls. Things were quiet when I left, but I have an odd feeling about that place. Too many people that didn’t look local.” He sent another look down the table to Maddie.

AJ checked out the busy restaurant. She watched a young couple move to a table and had an idea about how to present herself and Sam to their fellow employees at Adams Delivery Service up north. Sam blended easily. Tomorrow night would be a good time to have Maddie and Sam to the house for dinner. She began to eat and the entire plan came together in her head. It would work, but she’d have to explain to Katie.
