Chapter Nineteen

Grace woke to the sound of her cell phone buzzing across the bed side table. She forgot that she’d put it there the night before. She was glad it was on vibrate because she didn’t want to wake Reagan, who was sleeping beside her. She glanced at the caller id on the front part of the phone before she flipped it open to answer it.

“What is it, Cap?” Grace whispered into the phone.

“I need you to do me a favor, Grace. I am going out of town for a week and I need someone to watch my dogs. I know you have one so, I was wondering if you would watch them for me. I would really appreciate it,” Danica told her.

“You called me at seven am on my day off to ask me to watch your dogs?” Grace asked, quietly.

“Yes, I did.”

“I can’t believe this. Yeah, I can watch your dogs. It is no problem. When did you need to bring them over?” she asked Danica.

“How about later this morning?”

“Like when?”

“Say around ten? Is that okay with you? I really need to be on the road before noon,” Danica told her.

“You know how to get to my place, right?”

“Yeah,” Danica answered.

“Then come on over. I’ll be waiting for you in the back yard. I hope that your dogs can deal with being outside for a good part of the day or crated,” Grace said.

“Yeah, they can. They’re used to it with me. They should be no problem for you at all,” Danica told her.

“I’ll see you when you get here, then,” Grace answered.

She rolled off the bed, careful not to wake Reagan. Gracie smiled at the sight of Reagan sleeping, peacefully. She thought that Reagan looked more relaxed sleeping there in the guest room, then she ever did awake. She didn’t want to disturb that. She especially didn’t because Reagan had slept through the night without one nightmare.

She walked down the hall to her own room. She fished through her clothes before she grabbed a NYPD shirt and a pair of grey sweats. Once she was dressed, she headed down stairs after making sure that Reagan was still asleep. She ran into the kitchen and made herself a bowl of cereal. She scarfed that down and threw that bowl in the sink. She let Max out of his crate and both of them headed into the back yard.

They weren’t out there very long before Danica came up with her two dogs. Max was being unusually quiet. He didn’t even care about them at all. Grace looked at him and wondered why she thought he was such a good little guard Chihuahua. She watched as Max sniffed at the big dog, but he seemed to more interested in the little dog that Danica brought over with her.

“Morning,” Danica said, ascending the stairs to Grace’s deck and taking a seat on one of the deck chairs.

“Morning, Cap,” Grace said.

“Thank you for doing this for me. I didn’t know who else to call, especially on such short notice.
