Chapter Five

Her cell phone rang as she was pulling up to the house twenty minutes later and she looked at the display. Mary. She would have to call her back after she changed and let the dogs out. She sent the call to voicemail.

Dragging on lightweight sweats and a t-shirt, she headed to the laundry room to let the dogs out. Louie had chewed a corner of her white wicker laundry hamper. “Oh, Louie. What the hell, dog? You have perfectly good Kongs to chew on. Why do you have to destroy my stuff?”

He danced around her legs excitedly, glad to see her, and BB laughed. “You are such an ornery little bastard, dog.” She looked at Frankie. “You need to be teaching him better, lady.”

She let them into the back yard to play, then returned to clean up the hamper mess. By the time she returned Mary’s call, it had been almost half an hour.

Mary answered on the first ring. “Get your ass to the base! Now! They’re flying in.”

For a moment, the words didn’t compute, then her brain started to fire and her heart to race. “Are you serious?” she gasped.

“Yes, go! They’re probably on the ground now, or almost.”

She hung up, dazed. BB stared at her phone for a long minute, trying to absorb the fact that Lincoln was here. Or at least she thought he was. There was a chance Justin had received bad information, but that was unlikely. His info had always been spot on. Retired didn’t mean disconnected.

She looked at her phone. Mary had called her six times over the past half hour. Damn it! No calls from Lincoln, though.

BB darted to the back door to call the dogs in and Louie decided he didn’t want to come in. She physically had to go outside and chase his ass down, which he thought was an absolutely brilliant game. Her balance had changed, though, and more than once she had to catch herself on the outdoor furniture before she fell. BB had a feeling she would be paying for this chase for a long time, in more ways than one. She dropped Louie into the laundry room, kicked the chewed hamper out into the hallway and put up the baby gate to keep them in the room. Then she looked down at herself. Did she have time to change? No, probably not. She still had her party makeup on and her dangly Christmas ornament earrings, but Link would have to be happy to see her in gray sweats. Grabbing her purse and keys she darted out the door to her car.

The drive to the base had never taken so long. Every plane that flew overhead she wondered if Link was looking down at her. There were no other missed calls on her cell phone, so she was a little confused. Surely, he would have called her to let her know that he was coming home?

Or what if he was injured? Was that why he hadn’t called? Her stomach clenched and she fought to keep her breathing under control.
