Chapter 15

Millie was late. She had five minutes to make it up to the bridge and pick up Scout. She didn’t want the captain to think she was irresponsible and shirking her doggie duties. Fortunately, Millie was getting fast at navigating the ship. She was in front of the door to the bridge in four minutes flat with a whole minute to spare.

Captain Armati was off in the corner, talking to Staff Captain Vitale. The two men nodded as Millie made her way across the bridge. Captain Armati met her in the hallway, near the entrance to his private quarters.

He smiled at Millie. “Ready for another day with Scout?” He didn’t wait for a reply as he punched in the code that unlocked the door.

Millie caught a whiff of cologne. The smell lingered in the air as she followed behind him. It smelled nice, and expensive, she decided. Her eyes wandered to the back of his gray head. A man in uniform. Captain Armati was an attractive man. She wondered if he was married.

Millie gave a mental shake. What was wrong with her? First, she was getting butterflies in Dave Patterson’s office and now she was admiring the back of Captain Armati’s head, trying to figure out if he was married!

Was she finally, after all this time, coming back to life again? Millie figured that was all done and over with. That she would never be interested in men again. That she could wrap herself up in so many other projects there wouldn’t be room for someone else.

“…and Scout was sound asleep.” Captain Armati was talking. Millie wasn’t listening. She was still having that internal conversation about joining the living again and showing an interest in the opposite sex.

Millie’s mind had wandered and she missed what the captain had said. She blurted out the first thing that popped into her head. “Scout sleeps in your bed?” She had never let Daisy do that. Of course, that was Roger’s decision. Millie might have, but Roger had always been adamant there would be no dogs in the bedroom.

She followed Captain Armati into the living room. Scout was a bowl of wiggles and jiggles when he spotted Millie. He pranced in a circle, which made Millie dizzy just watching him.

The captain picked Scout up and held him close before handing him over to Millie. “No. I am afraid I would roll over and crush him in my sleep,” he admitted.

Which would be Millie’s fear, too. Scout was so small, yet he was wiry. He was definitely a bundle of energy as he pawed at her cheek, licked her chin and tried to climb up her neck all at once.

Armati crossed his arms and watched the happy reunion. “How is the investigation going?”

Millie peeled her gaze from the dog and glanced at the captain. Of course, he would know all about it. He had probably already talked to Dave Patterson and knew that Millie had been in Courtney’s room the night of her death. “The list of suspects is growing.
