CHAPTER THREE

The judge wrapped up jury selection around three that afternoon. They had only picked eight jurors by that time, so he continued selection for nine a.m. the following day. Mark took Fannie to the rental agency, and she rented an ugly brown Ford Taurus. He told her to go ahead and take the rest of the day off because they wouldn’t be doing any more on the case today and he had some errands to run.

Fannie ran a few errands of her own before going home. When she got to her front door, there was a small, brown package sitting on her welcome mat. She bent and was about to pick it up when she heard, “Don’t,” from behind her. The voice startled her and she turned and saw Grant standing a few feet away.

“Why?” she asked.

“Because the person who vandalized your car may have left it,” he said. “For a lawyer who lives alone, you’re not very savvy.”

That statement annoyed her. “What makes you think I live alone?”

“Just an assumption,” he said.

“Why? Because I look like a woman no one would want to live with?” she asked him, becoming even more irritated.

“No, because I dropped you off here last night and no one was here to greet you. You didn’t call anyone after the incident. So, I just assumed.”

“I called my friend Paul,” she said, smugly like an insolent child.

“Does he live here?” Grant asked her.

“No…but…” For some reason she really didn’t want him to know he’d been right.

“Can we drop the who lives here and who doesn’t routine long enough to check out the box?” he asked.

“Okay,” she said with a shrug. She put the key into the door and opened it up. Stepping carefully over the box, she went inside. Grant was still standing in the hallway.

“Should we call the bomb squad or something?” she asked.

“I think that’s overkill at this point,” he said, still looking at the box.

“So are you just going to stare it down?” She was trying hard not to smile, but he was giving her a lot of material here.

He gave her his own version of the annoyed look. “Step inside and close the door.”

She was going to tell him that it was all unnecessary, but she suddenly decided that it would be more fun not to. She did as he asked and while she waited for the explosion, she put on a pot of coffee, and changed out of her work clothes and into a velour lounging suit. The coffee pot was finished dripping when she got back to the kitchen and Grant was apparently still out in the hall.

She doubted that she had missed the explosion just because she had been in the back room but just in case she knocked on the door and said, “Are you still in one piece out there?”

“Yeah, you can open the door.”

She did, and found him standing there holding a now unwrapped box of chocolates. “You opened my mail?”

“I was trying to save your life,” he told her.
