The next morning my phone rang at seven o’clock. Who the hell calls at that ungodly time? I rolled over and grabbed the phone without looking at the screen.

"Yeah?" I snapped.

"Hey, Maddox, did I wake you?"

It took me a moment to place the voice on the other end of the line.

"Daniel?" I said as I woke up.

"Yeah, man. How’ve you been?" His voice was ridiculously cheerful for a call to a practical stranger at seven in the morning.

"I don’t mean to be rude, but why the hell are you calling me this early?" I tried to keep the growl out of my voice. But, seriously.

"Oh, sorry, dude. I know you’re in construction and you guys get going early. I saw you at the barbecue last night, but didn’t get a chance to say hi."

"So that’s a good reason to call someone this early? How did you get my number?" I grumbled as I sat up and rubbed my face. Daniel and I went to school together, but we weren’t close.

"I got it from Meghan. I tried to call you yesterday and left a message when you didn’t answer. Look, we need your help. We’re building a raised bed garden at the school. The guy who was going to move the soil, run the equipment, and direct the volunteers ended up in the hospital yesterday."

"Is he okay?" I asked as my mind cleared.

"He’s going to be okay—bad case of food poisoning. I got the call from his wife last night while I was at the barbecue, and then when I went over to talk to you, you’d already bailed."

"Let me guess," I said as I went to the coffee maker in the cabin and started it brewing. "The event is today, isn’t it?"

"Yeah." Daniel’s voice was full of anxiety. "The volunteers are all gonna be there this morning, and the soil and equipment were delivered yesterday. We might be able to muddle through, but your experience would be great."

I sighed. Well, what else did I have planned for today? The stuff I was doing on my house wasn’t critical, and it sounded like this was an emergency. And at least it would keep my mind off Red.

"Sure," I reluctantly said.

"Great, can you be at Oakside Elementary in an hour?"

"Yeah, I’ll be there."

Daniel thanked me and hung up. I shook my head. I hadn’t planned to work this week, but what the hell? I was here until Meghan had her baby, and I needed the distraction.

It didn’t take me long to get ready. I scrambled some eggs and drank my coffee, then I was ready to go. I glanced at my watch and noted it was seven thirty. It would only take about ten minutes to get to the school, but I decided to head out anyway. It would be better for me to arrive early to check out the equipment and supplies. I’d taken over many projects in the past that were short on something. Better to find out early.
