Chapter Seven

Ben picked up his cell phone, hoping he would have a signal. There were two bars. He dialed his partner’s number.

“Hey ya, Ben,” Tom’s voice came happily over the line.

“Where are you?” Relief flowed through him.

“Heading back to the station.”

“You should've already been there, hours ago,” Ben took a towel that Kyra handed him.

“We had to make a pit stop, ya know what I mean.”

“Tom, I’m going to shoot you.”

“Come on now.”

“You freaked me out.”

“We’re fine, and almost back to the station.”

“Better be.”

“About thirty more minutes.”

“No more pit stops.”

“Do you want me to call you when we get there, honey?”

“Shut up, Tom.”

“And hey, I tried to call. Where were you?”

Ben took a deep breath as he thought about holding the girl so close to him. It had taken everything he had not to kiss her, “In the pond.”

“You were in the pond?”

“Shut up, Tom.”

Tom chuckled, “Talk to ya soon.”

They both hung up.

“Are they ok?” Kyra looked over at him.

“They’re fine.”

“So you freaked out for nothing?” She smiled; she had already changed out of her wet clothes.

He smiled back, “Pretty much…. You’re the one who brought it up.”

“And just when I got you to loosen up,” she winked at him.

He looked at her smiling face. She was so beautiful and it took his breath away. How was he ever going to survive this without totally taking advantage of the girl? It took everything not to do anything when they were in the water.

“What’s the matter?” She looked at him, confused.

“Nothing at all,” he smiled.

She pushed him gently as she smiled, “Go get dry, and I’ll make lunch.” She walked off into the kitchen.

He went into the extra bathroom where he had his bag, quickly pulling the wet jeans off and replacing them with dry ones, and a new shirt. He threw the wet ones in the laundry room as he went back to the living room. He sat down on the couch, pulling her computer over to him and turning it back on.

He wondered what his life would be like if he hadn’t became an officer. He always liked his life, at least until now. He wished he had met Kyra a different way. But how would that have played out?

Her life wouldn’t be in danger.

They wouldn’t be in the middle of nowhere, hiding.

What all had happened to her in her life? He knew she didn’t like or trust cops of any kind. He thought she trusted him now and maybe Tom. But what had happened to her that could have made her despise them so much when her father had been one? There wasn’t a record on her or Nick….

“What are you doing?” The sweet voice came from behind him.

He realized he was looking at the screen saver on the computer. He looked up at her, trying to smile, “Just thinking.”

He watched her small body walk around the couch, setting down to face him, “About what?”

“The things life deals people.”

She half smiled, “That’s the way it works. You can’t do anything about it.
