Chapter Sixteen

Alley couldn’t quite believe she’d told Mitchell where to pick up a condom or two. She’d never been so bold in her life. But the longer she hung around Mitchell, the more she thought of cool sheets and hot sex. She didn’t want to be caught in a situation where their hormones went crazy and they had no supplies. Maybe she’d maintain her self-control, but she wasn’t so sure about it.

While she was visualizing what tonight would be like, sleeping only a bathroom away from a man she wanted naked, Rudy walked into the Top Hat, all two hundred and eighty pounds of him.

“I was hoping I’d find you here!” He pulled up a chair and sat down. “Seein’ as how Mitchell said he’d help me find Lurleen, I wanted to do something for the both of you.”

Ally couldn’t figure out how the heck Mitchell could help locate Rudy’s ex-girlfriend. He was no private investigator. “That was nice of him.”

“Yeah, it was. Here he comes, now. Hi, there, Mitchell! Say, does anybody ever call you Mitch?”

Mitchell shook Rudy’s outstretched hand before sitting down again. “It’s happened before. Why?”

“I just like Mitch better, is all. No offense, but when you say the whole thing like that, I picture some dorky guy, somebody in government, maybe.”

“Oh, I don’t,” Ally said. She actually did, but she wanted to protect Mitchell’s feelings. People could be very sensitive about their names. “I think of somebody who’s efficient, thorough, resourceful…” She glanced at Mitchell and tried to read from his expression whether he’d scored any condoms. She couldn’t tell.

“Well, sure,” Rudy said. “Efficient, but maybe too efficient, if you know what I mean. Now Mitch, that’s a guy who gets things done, but he’s sorta cool about it. So if it’s all the same to you, I thought I’d go with Mitch.”

“That’s fine,” Mitchell said.

But Ally was still concerned that his feelings were hurt. “Not me,” she said. “I like saying the whole thing. Mitchell. It has a nice lilt to it.”

She wondered what she’d call him if they ended up in the same bed. Mitch was a shorter name, and at moments like that, you didn’t want to waste your breath on extra syllables. Having sex with a guy named Mitch did seem a shade more exciting, come to think of it. And she was definitely thinking about it.

“So as I was telling Ally,” Rudy said. “I want to do something for you guys since you’re gonna help me locate Lurleen.”

“Yeah, how are you going to help Rudy locate Lurleen?”

“Through the Internet,” Mitchell said. “It’s amazing what you can do with the Internet these days.”

“I suppose so.” She laughed. “For a minute there, it sounded like you were getting into the PI business.”

“Me?”

“I know. Far-fetched. But it ran through my mind.”

Rudy looked at them expectantly. “So aren’t you gonna ask me what special thing I’m gonna do for you?”

“You could surprise us,” Ally said.

“No, he couldn’t,” Mitch said. “I like knowing what’s coming.
