Kyle stood outside the hospital, while he waited for Matt to answer the phone. Home from church by now, his friend was either taking a Sunday-afternoon nap or watching baseball. More than likely, the latter. Matt liked baseball, apple pie and a certain blue-eyed brunette named Megan he’d met last month. Time would tell if this relationship made it past the one-month mark.

He suddenly realized that his track record wasn’t much better.

Matt picked up just before the phone switched to voice mail.

“Matt. Hey. How are things in D.C.?”

“Don’t tell me you’re calling on a Sunday to ask about work. Hang on a second—let me mute this.” The baseball game in the background went silent. “Are there problems with the new opening?”

“No. Not at all. We’ll be up and running tomorrow.”

“That’s what I want to hear. I knew there was a reason that I agreed to be your partner. So what’s up then?”

Kyle hesitated, knowing what Matt’s reaction was going to be. He might as well jump in and tell him straight. “I took on a new client.”

“Great.”

“Pro bono,” he added.

It took a full four seconds for what he’d said to sink in.

“Wait a minute. Aren’t you supposed to be on vacation this weekend? Why are you spending time finding ways to suck money from our vast empire?”

Kyle laughed. Someone had been watching way too much sci-fi lately. “Did I mention she has honey-blond hair, big brown eyes and—”

“In other words she’s a knockout.”

Kyle hesitated. Oh, yeah. Lindsey was a knockout. But the truth was, his reason for getting involved with her father’s case went far beyond her looks.

“Actually,” Kyle began, “she’s an old friend from college I want to help.”

“An old friend? Right. Tell me more.”

“All I’m going to say is that she’s smart and nice—”

“Smart and nice? How many years have I known you? I can read between the lines.”

Kyle combed his fingers through his hair and smiled. Man. Matt knew him too well. And how did he always manage to box himself into a corner? “Save it for another day. That’s not why I called.”

Matt chuckled. “I’ll back off for now, but it’s about time you found someone. She’s interested, right? I bet she is. Even I know you’re not a completely bad catch.”

“Thanks a lot. How’s Megan?”

Matt laughed at Kyle’s change of subject. “I’m afraid she’s too perfect for me. It’s never going to work. Okay, back to the case. Give me the details.”

“We’ve got a 419 scammer that’s taken close to two hundred thousand dollars from Lindsey’s father. And what’s really interesting is, I’m seeing a lot of similarities between the scammer’s signature and the guys we’ve been after. I’m still waiting for the preliminary feedback, but there definitely seems to be a connection.”

Matt let out a low whistle. “Bringing down that ring would be worth any pro bono fees. Forward what you’ve got and I’ll do some digging. We’re going to get this guy.”

“You got it.” Kyle flipped his phone shut as Lindsey came out of the hospital.
