CHAPTER SIX

“Ken! Thank God you’re alright! Where are you? What’s going on?!” Jo pleaded, taking no heed of the other visitors in the spacious waiting room. “Lou’s put a bounty hunter on your tail and since I assume he wasn’t the one who posted your bail, I’d say he’s pretty bent on finding you and making you pay for this.”

Ken responded with a sigh and the conversation silenced for a few seconds.

“Ken?” Jo called when the quiet lasted a bit too long for her liking.

“Jo listen, Luke and Floyd have every right to come after me since I did exactly what they accused me of.”

A puff of air expelled from Jo’s mouth as though it were forced out. “You? You did this?” she just managed to ask. She sat on the nearest chair, knowing she was stunned enough to pass out. “What were you thinking?” she hissed, rolling her eyes away from a woman who flashed a disapproving glance. “How could you do this to them? To me?” she asked Ken in a softer tone.

“Sweetheart, I’m sorry. I never meant to hurt you with this. But you have to believe that I had no choice,” he swore.

“What the hell does that mean?” Jo turned her head to hiss into the phone again.

“Jo listen, this is all too complex to go into now-“

“Don’t you dare hang up on me Ken.”

“I have every intention of explaining this, but I need to see you.”

Jo glanced across her shoulder again. “That is not a good idea,” she advised, tugging voraciously on the lone curl dangling from her chignon. “The bounty hunter Luke and Floyd hired is an old friend of mine and he’s based right here in Seattle.”

Ken was silent for a moment. “You trust him?” he asked finally.

“I do,” Jo responded without hesitation. It was true. She did trust him-completely.

“Then I may need to trust him as well and you’ll know why once we speak,” Ken interjected, when she was about to question him further. “But I have to see you face to face Jo.”

Jo nodded then. “Of course. Of course,” she chanted, easily deciphering the fear in her friend’s voice.

“I need you to go to your bounty hunter friend and get him to back off until we talk. I give you my word that I’ll explain everything.”

“I’ll take care of it. When will I see you?” she asked.

“Soon,” was Ken’s only response before the call ended.

“Well Quest, I’d say that does it. Come September we’ll be breaking ground on Phase II.”

Quest shook his head at the announcement made by Chief Contractor Jason Calloway. “I gotta admit it J.C. it doesn’t seem like three years ago since we were breaking ground on Phase I and the damn thing isn’t even at capacity yet,” he noted, fiddling with the pen he held.

“Doesn’t matter,” J.C. said with a shrug. “Every single one of the units is sold-only thing holding up the folks from moving in are the customizing packages they chose for their homes.”

“Yeah Quest,
