Chapter 13

Oz chuckled as Tilly turned away from him, accidentally ran into an end table, uttered an “Oops!” then turned back to him, red-faced, giving him a flustered look and hurried off. She was just as awkward as ever and just as adorable.

He got back to work, and twenty minutes before he thought he’d finish, he called Jeff to let him know he was almost done. When Jeff showed up, he went to get Tilly to join them in the living room so Oz could show them how everything worked.

“Oh, Till, this is John Osby, or Oz. Oz, this is my sister, Tilly,” Jeff said, making introductions.

“We’ve already met,” Oz said with a wink at Tilly, and he had to chuckle again as she blushed.

“Oh, yeah?” Jeff looked between the two of them.

Tilly cleared her throat. “Yeah. We went to high school together. Well, until Dad…”

“But I never forgot her. Thought about her a lot over the years,” Oz said, looking at her with a smile. She looked back at him as if she were shocked at what he’d just said.

“Oh, well, that’s cool,” Jeff said, not paying any attention to the looks that were being exchanged. “Now, how ‘bout showing us how to get this thing activated. Gotta get back to the precinct soon.”

Oz explained how to use the system, showing them how they could use their cell phones to perform different actions.

“So this is pretty much foolproof then, right?” Tilly asked.

Jeff and Oz exchanged a look and Jeff nodded for him to go ahead.

“It’s pretty damned good, I’ll say that. But nothing’s foolproof,” Oz explained.

“Oh,” Tilly said on a whisper, her brow creasing with worry.

“Hey, it’ll be okay,” Jeff assured her. “We’ll have it alert me through my phone, okay? I can be here pretty damned fast.”

Tilly still looked uneasy. “But you live thirty minutes away.”

“If it’ll make you feel better, I can do the same thing. I’m only about ten minutes from here,” Oz offered.

She looked at him and bit her bottom lip before nodding. “That’d make me feel a lot better.”

While Jeff showed Tilly something on the alarm, Oz called the central monitoring system to finish the installation, reading the tech their phone numbers off his invoice and giving his own to be connected to the system. “Well, that’s all,” he said when he’d hung up. “Each of our phones is now connected. It’s all good to go.”

“Thanks, man,” Jeff said, shaking Oz’s hand. “I appreciate everything.”

“No problem. Well, I’d better pack up.” Oz looked at Tilly. He grabbed all of his equipment then asked, “Any preference on dinner?”

Tilly’s felt her face get hot when her brother looked at her with raised eyebrows.

“Dinner, huh?” Jeff asked with a grin.

“Yes,” she squeaked out then cleared her throat again. “Yes. We decided to catch up on what we’ve been doing since we last saw each other.” She looked at Oz. “I like everything,” she said then he saw her wince, which he assumed was because there was all kinds of innuendo that could be attached to that little statement and his grin just got bigger.
