CHAPTER NINE

I was always glad to see my Captain, but never more so than right now, I thought, rushing to Liza’s back door to let him in.

“Oh, I’m so glad you’re here,” I said, throwing my arms around his neck and planting a kiss on his snow-dusted cheeks.

His face and neck turned to a color more in line with his red scarf than his tanned skin. Shucks, if I hadn’t embarrassed him.

“I’m glad to see you too,” he said, stomping off the snow from his boots on the large rug in Liza’s mudroom, “but I’m not too thrilled to be here.”

“Understood,” I said, and boy did I.

“This old gal is totally nuts. I don’t like you being around her,” he said, hugging me close to his chest as if he were a wee bit leery of letting me go.

“She’s nuts, I’ll give ya that. But I don’t think she really means any true harm. Well, not to anyone except Darryl,” I said, not doubting for a minute that she’d one day finish off that jackass.

“Yeah. Right. Speaking of Darryl, and Hank too,” the Captain said, clearing his throat and looking around to make sure Liza wasn’t within earshot, “I’m going to need a few of the dolls that look like Darryl and any others that look like Hank too.”

I lowered my head and gave him the look as in if you want my help, you’d best be tellin’ me more than that.

“Don’t give me that look. I’m just trying to get you out of this mess, and I need those damn dolls.”

Luckily, Liza had gone to take a nap in her room. She’d claimed that with an afternoon of rest, she’d be able to get a fresh new perspective on what she’d done and perhaps gain clarity on how to undo it. We could only hope her beauty rest led in that direction.

“Well, fine. But let’s make it quick before Liza wakes up and catches us. C’mon in here. She keeps the dolls in a special display case.”

“How quaint.”

I shook my head and snickered at The Captain’s snark. He was totally my kinda guy with my kinda ‘tude too.

“Give me three of those Darryl look-a-likes. And oh shit, there’s a few more Hanks too,” he said, carefully taking out the dolls.

“For the love of Buddha! I only had one wedding band, so I didn’t even look for more Hanks,” I said, shocked at the three more Hanks.

Liza had made rings out of gold braid and made nooses for the three extra dolls in Hank’s image.

“Now what are you going to do with these?” I asked, nervous as all hell to hear the answer.

“Well, something very nice, I assure you. To prevent more harm from coming to them, we’ve got to do what we’ve got to do,” the Captain answered.

Can’t get much more vague than that, I thought. But I trusted him more than anyone else.

“Hey, there’s one that looks like Nicky. Should I take that too?” He asked.

I thought for a moment.
