Chapter Sixteen

The very pregnant FUC agent excused herself from the restaurant table and went to the bathroom, her partner and husband following, a good thing too because Everett had stopped paying attention several minutes ago. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong. Really wrong. He drummed his fingers on the table as he stared out the window.

Tom noticed his distraction and nudged him. “Why aren’t you paying attention?”

“I am.” At Tom’s raised brow, he amended, “I was. But I’ve got this nagging sensation.”

“Nagging how? Like a, need to pop a Tums because I ate too much deep-fried food sensation? A crack open a new package of toilet paper because I’m going to clog some plumbing? Or the, I think I left the stove on at home one?”

“None of the above. I think something’s wrong with Dawn.”

Tom slammed the table with a fist. “I knew it. I knew we shouldn’t have left that doe alone. She’s probably halfway to Canada by now.”

“She didn’t escape. I think she’s in danger.” Everett rose and tossed a few bills on the table.

“Where are you going?”

“To check on her.”

“On the basis of your gut?”

“Don’t make fun. That instinct has saved our tails more than once.”

“You know, they have this new technology out now known as a phone. Instead of running off on the basis of a tummy ache, you could just call her.”

“I can’t. I don’t have a house phone, remember? And she doesn’t own a cell.”

“So you’re just going to disappear in the middle of a meeting with FUC agents?”

“Yup.”

The scowl on Tom’s face deepened. “You know that’s not going to make us look good.”

Everett rolled his shoulders. “Like I care what they think.”

A noisy breath rattled from Tom’s lips. “Well, I do! Are you nuts? You can’t do that.”

“Why not? Tell them something came up that needed my attention. I’m sure you can handle them.”

Tom pounded a fist on the tabletop, rattling the dishes. “Everett, this better not be your way of ditching me so you can get back to Dawn for a little tickle and squeak.”

“Dude, we are not in grade school. Tickle and squeak? Really?”

“You know what I mean.”

“I do. And trust me when I say that’s not my intention.” Although, if his hunch turned out wrong, it might be.

“I’m coming by as soon as the meeting is over.” The warning was growled.

“Take your time.” Everett winked before striding out of the restaurant. He wasn’t kidding, though, about his gut. It urged him to hurry. To run. He did, jogging the few blocks to his house.

Funny how in a few short days he’d grown so attached to the doe, and it wasn’t just because of her housekeeping skills or great cooking. Under her demure side hid a woman with a backbone of steel. She exuded femininity yet, at the same time, didn’t allow herself to get pushed around. For a man like him, who usually hung out with women who used sex as a tool to get what they wanted and tears when they didn’t, he found it refreshing.
