Chapter Thirty-One

Ken Doll

“Peace,” Jill exclaimed happily. “Is something wrong? I mean you’ve never called me before just to chat.”

“Ouch, I’ve been that bad, huh?”

“Well, I was beginning to wonder if you thought your line was tapped.”

Peace momentarily stayed silent.

“You’re in a phone booth, aren’t you?” Jill laughed. “Come on, admit it.”

“Okay, maybe I am a little paranoid,” Peace admitted. “You caught me.”

“It won’t do you much good if my line is tapped,” Jill reminded him. “You are so cute.”

“How’re you feeling?”

“I’ve had to add coffee to my list of no-no’s. Banana’s give me heartburn almost like gargling with sulfuric acid; and if I even taste a bean, I better be next to a bathroom.”

“Doesn’t sound like much fun, Honey.”

“Just coming to grips with the physical part of having a baby,” Jill replied. “I really feel wonderful.”

“Any more thought on when we can get married?”

“I’d like to tomorrow, but I guess it would be okay in a couple of months when the semester ends.”

“I was thinking more about a couple of weeks,” Peace said, disappointment apparent in his voice. “You can still stay up there, but at least we’d be official. I really don’t think we should wait.”

“I know, but…”

“I miss you. I’m coming up there this weekend. I’ll talk to your parents. We can have a beautiful, small ceremony.”

“You’re serious, aren’t you? What happened to get you so wound up?”

“I just think anything can happen, and I don’t want to lose you.”

“What makes you think you’ll lose me?” Jill laughed in surprise.

“I’m having your baby. Where do you think I’m going?”

Peace related the story of what happened between Bull and Holly. Jill stayed silent for a long moment before replying.

“Holly was in love with Bull. She told me herself at the barbecue when we were washing dishes.”

“I knew it,” Peace whispered, almost to himself.

“She actually came to the restaurant with this guy Ken, and broke up with Bull right in front of you?” Jill asked in confusion.

“She was upset, but that’s exactly what she did.”

“How’s Bull taking it?”

“Quietly,” Peace answered. “I’ve been told to butt out by both Bull and Ed. I just have one of those feelings you get when your hair raises on the back of your neck.”

“Not very much in life works out the way we wish it would,” Jill said sympathetically. “I guess visions of you, Dan, and Bull having family barbeques, complete with wives and kids, danced through your head, huh?”

“Momentarily,” Peace admitted. “You saw them together, Jill. Tell me this episode fits the program.”

“You’re going to do something rash, aren’t you?” Jill sighed audibly.

“I’m still processing info.”

“I’ll bet.”

“You think I’m wrong to stick my nose in this too, so I guess that makes it unanimous; but it still does nothing to relieve this feeling Holly is in trouble.”

“I trust your intuition, my love,” Jill added. “I just don’t want you to lose a friend over it. Can’t you nibble around the edges of a full blown investigation? You know, hack into the Pentagon or FBI, and…” “Heyyyyyyyyyy…” Peace interrupted.
