Chapter Six

WARM AND COMFORTABLE, Veronica moaned as the sound of her ringing cell phone dragged her from the depths of sleep. Groaning she picked it up.

“Dr. Bailey,” she answered rubbing her eyes and trying to clear her head.

“There’s something wrong with my cow,” a male voice growled.

“I’m sorry, who is this?” Veronica sat up and pushed her hair out of her face. She glanced down at Lincoln, who was peeking up at her from under sleepy lids.

“Johnson Chapman. I need you to look at my cow. She ain’t due yet but she won’t get up.”

Veronica’s insides roiled a bit because there was just something about the man she didn’t like.

“All right, I’m on my way.” She pushed the button to end the call and looked down at Lincoln, who was looking at her with only one open eye now. “I have to go to Chapman’s ranch.”

He immediately came awake and sat up. “I’ll take you. It’s hard to tell what the weather’s like.” He rubbed his hand across his face, raked his fingers through his hair, and pulled himself up to a standing position over her. He put his hand out to her, which she took, and then laughed when he pulled her up into his arms and kissed her.

“Keep that up and we won’t get there at all.”

“Oh, something is definitely up.” Lincoln chuckled.

“You’re so bad.” Veronica laughed as she took a step back and straightened her clothes. She screwed up her face unhappily. “I really hate going there. He just gives me the creeps, but if his cow is in bad shape, I can’t ignore it.”

“I’ll be there with you.” Lincoln took her hand and led her to the kitchen where they put their coats on, and then headed outside to his truck.

The truck took a few minutes to warm up but once it did, they were on their way. Lincoln steered into Chapman’s driveway and stopped close to the barn.

Veronica took a deep breath and blew it out. “I’ll be right back. Stay here where it’s warm.”

“I can go with you,” Lincoln started to say, but she waved him off.

“No. I’ll be fine. Don’t worry.” She smiled at him but if forced to admit it, she wasn’t so sure about going in alone but it was the professional thing to do.

“All right...but if you’re not back soon, I’ll be in.”

“That’s fine with me,” she told him, giving him a quick kiss before climbing out. She grinned at him as she closed the truck door, and entered the barn.

Johnson Chapman smiled at her when she approached him, and it was all she could do to suppress a shiver of disgust. The man was in his sixties, but stood tall and didn’t have an ounce of fat on him. She was unable to put her finger on it but there was just something, about him, she just didn’t like. He made her feel uneasy, wary. Any time she was out here, he would stand too close or run his eyes up and down her body.
