Chapter 8
When Jenner stepped onto the kitchen porch, Kellie was startled and then saw his face through the window, and she bolted outside. She immediately threw herself into his arms and gave him a big hug. âAre you okay?â she asked, smacking his arms and shoulders, stepping back to look at him anxiously. He was obviously surprised at her onslaught, but he replied willingly enough.
âIâm fine,â he said. âAnd, yes, I did find the War Dog. Thanks for asking.â
âSeriously?â she asked in delight.
âYes, and itâs kind of a long story,â he noted. âI told the sheriff that you probably could identify the guy staying in Jimâs house.â
âSo you did talk to the sheriff?â
âI did,â he confirmed. âDid you?â
âSure. I answered his questions. I mean â¦â Then she hesitated. âLook. Thereâs never been a good rapport between us,â she admitted, âbut Iâve tried to get along.â
âSince he is law enforcement, itâs always a good thing.â
She nodded. âThe trouble is, ⦠you know thereâs some history.â
âOf course there is,â he agreed, âbut history doesnât mean that something like this gets pushed away.â
âHe didnât ask me if I could identify him. I assumed he already knew who he was.â
âI donât think he has any clue,â Jenner stated.
She rolled her eyes at that. âOf course not. So, yeah, I probably should help him.â She stopped, frowned, and pointed to the front of her house. âI do have a security camera up front. Didnât think of that. I probably have a picture of him.â
âThatâs a good idea, and producing a photo of the guy could avoid you having to speak with the sheriff again. I can help you review your security tape, and together weâll try to isolate and take a couple pictures of this squatter guy and send it to the sheriff.â
âOh, Iâm down for that,â she stated. And then she added, âYour girlfriendâex-wifeâcame back again.â
âWhat did Laura want?â he asked calmly.
Kellie was glad to see that, outside of curiosity, there was no change in his expression. âAre you really over her?â
âIâm so over her,â he stated. âWhy?â
âJust ⦠just because she showed me a side of her personality that I actually struggled with today.â
âYes, she has a bunch of those,â he noted. âIâm only just realizing how little I knew her myself.â
âI think sheâs grown into certain aspects of her personality,â she explained cautiously, âand I donât want to sound like a real bitch, but Iâm not sure itâs to her benefit.â
âYou mean, the fact that sheâs pregnant and doesnât want to be?â
âHow did you know?â she asked, as she led the way back into the kitchen.
âShe told me that she wasnât interested in having kids for a very long time and then only if there was a damn good reason for it. She didnât want to ruin her body.â
âYeah, she sounds pretty irate over the whole thing right now too,â she agreed, âsaying that she should have gotten a surrogate for it.â
âYeah, that sounds like her,â he noted, with a nod. âWe didnât actually spend all that long together, and, when we did, we werenât sharing our souls.
