Nineteen

The next day a fax from the sheriff’s department arrived at the newspaper office. It didn’t say what I thought it would, though.

“There’s no news conference until Tuesday,” Fish said. He had called me first thing in the morning to let me know. “You should take the day off.”

“Why?” Was I being punished? I bet Jake complained after all.

“Because you ended up working Saturday and Sunday and I don’t want to pay you sixteen hours of overtime this week.”

Cheapskate.

“Fine,” I sighed. “If something changes, though … ?”

“You’ll be the first one I call,” Fish agreed.

Once he disconnected, I rolled over to find Eliot had already climbed out of bed. “Where are you going?”

“I have to stop in at the store.”

“Why? Isn’t that what you have employees for?”

“I have to count the receipts for the weekend,” Eliot said. “I am the boss and that falls under the purview of the boss.”

Great. Now I was going to have to find a way to entertain myself. Thoughts of the new DC Lego video game suddenly jumped into my head. Things were looking up.

“What are you going to do today?”

This was a trick question. “Clean my house.”

Eliot barked out a laugh. “What are you really going to do?”

“There’s a new video game I want,” I admitted.

“So you’re going to spend sixteen hours fighting Lego battles?”

“I play more than Lego video games.”

“Are you going to play that Kinect thing and pretend you have a lightsaber?”

Well, that was just insulting. “I haven’t done that in weeks.”

“I know,” Eliot sighed. “I kind of miss it.”

“Why?”

“Will you think less of me if I tell you that I imagine you wearing Princess Leia’s slave outfit when you’re doing it and it turns me on?” Eliot looked sheepish.

“Actually I respect you more now.”

“Good,” Eliot chuckled, leaning over the bed to drop a kiss on my head. “Why don’t you delay the video game until this afternoon, though.”

“Why?”

“You can buy it, but why don’t you swing back around here and I’ll buy you lunch before I lose you to high-definition graphics for the rest of the day?”

That didn’t sound too bad. I was going to need nourishment if I was going to make it through the main game play before going to bed tonight. “Okay. Where do you want to meet?”

“Let’s go to that Thai place,” Eliot offered. “I like the Pad Von Sen.”

“Sounds good,” I agreed.

“I’ll see you there at one?”

“See you then.”
