TWELVE
The tension Everett had been feeling eased the farther they got from Atlanta. Heading north into the mountains was a good decision. He and Natalie would have an opportunity to relax for at least a short time without worrying about a killer on the loose.
Thinking she must be asleep, he reached for his phone.
She lifted her head and stared at him. âNeed to make a call?â
He nodded. âI wanted Uncle Harry to know he could expect us.â
âMake sure you mention the woman you picked up along the way.â
Everett chuckled as he clicked the prompt for his uncleâs landline. He glanced at his watch. Knowing Harry, heâd still be awake.
He answered on the third ring. âEverett, tell me youâre coming to see your favorite uncle.â
âThatâs exactly right, sir. How are you?â
âCanât complain. I was afraid you wouldnât get away from that new investigation.â
âActually Iâm bringing some of my work with me.â
âOh?â
âA woman who was involved in the case. She was the victimâs neighbor. I knew you wouldnât mind.â
Uncle Harry chuckled. âIs this woman also a person of interest in another way?â
Everett smiled. âMeaning?â
âMeaning, youâre not getting any younger. I was eighteen when I proposed to your Aunt Rose. She was the prettiest girl in high school, and I wanted to lay claim to her before one of the other guys moved in.â
âHow could she have eyes for anyone other than you, Uncle Harry?â
âThatâs right. âCourse it took her two more years before she said yes, but I was first in line. Best thing I ever did was to claim her for my wife.â
âI donât think todayâs woman likes to be claimed, sir.â
âNonsense. Every woman wants a strong man who will take care of her. Even that woman youâre involved with now.â
Everett steeled his jaw. âWeâre not involved.â
âThen interested. Is that a better description of your relationship?â
Everett wouldnât even call it a relationship. Interested? He stole a quick glance at Natalie. She was staring out the window as if she couldnât hear his end of the conversation, which of course she could. Hopefully, she hadnât heard what his uncle had said.
âWeâll arrive in a couple hours. Donât stay up. I know where you keep the spare key.â
âIâll be up, but maybe dozing in my chair. Pound on the door, and Iâll hear you. A friend brought over some casseroles so thereâs plenty to eat.â
âWas that Bessie Beyer?â Everett had met the lady who often brought his uncle food.
âYou remember Bessie, Iâm sure. Sheâs a lovely lady. Also a good cook. She baked oatmeal raisin cookies, which are my favorite. Thereâs ice cream in the fridge, so help yourself. I doubt you had time to eat.â
âYou know me too well.â
âThatâs because youâre just like your father. He invited me to visit, and I may take him up on the invitation. Anything to delay moving into that senior-citizen complex.â
âYouâll enjoy having neighbors nearby. Plus, there will be plenty of activities to keep you busy.â
âIâve got enough to do here in my house. No reason to create jobs just so I stay busy.
