Hero had camped out on one of the barstools and was just watching Mom and Dad. I sat down next to him and sighed. Finding out Mom and Dad were moving to Falls City did not fall under the category of having a chill Saturday. Hero reached over and rested his hand on my thigh. “Smile, Sunshine,” he whispered.
I stuck my tongue out at him.
He shook his head and smirked.
Dad headed back into the living room, and Mom finally turned from the stove. “So, what will you two have?”
Hero threw me a wink. “Reva told me you are the originator of the bacon sandwich.”
Smartass.

Chapter Seventeen
Hero
“What time does she see the judge?”
I filled Reva’s coffee cup and pushed it toward her. She grabbed the creamer and added a glug to the cup.
“Eleven thirty. Rod said she should be bailed out by noon as long as she keeps her mouth shut and does what he told her to.”
“What did Rod tell her to do?” she asked.
“Keep her mouth shut.”
Reva cringed. “I’ve only known Luna a short time, but isn’t that pretty hard for her?”
It sure was. Part of me didn’t think she would be granted bail and would have to sit in jail for a while. Ransom would be happy as hell to see that happen. “Time will tell.”
After Reva’s parents had left Saturday morning, things were surprisingly quiet. I had left for a little bit Saturday night to grab dinner and had detoured to the club to make sure everything was under control with all the girls staying there. Thankfully, with half of the club vacationing in Arizona, there were plenty of beds for everyone. Though I wasn’t sure what was going to happen when King flew back in.
I had broken the news to King that Luna had been arrested for stomping on Ransom, and he was surprisingly not as pissed as I thought he would be. Troy and Marley, Luna’s parents who were with King, weren’t as okay about it. If she would have been arrested on a Tuesday or Wednesday, she would have only been in there for the night, but since she had been arrested on a Friday night, she had to sit there ‘til the judge came in on Monday.
Today was the day, and I just hoped Luna kept her mouth shut.
“I’ll let you know what happens.”
Reva pushed up on her tiptoes and pressed a kiss to my lips. “I gotta run. I’ve got a schnauzer for my first appointment, and he always shows up ten minutes early.”
“I thought you opened at nine? Why don’t you just schedule the schnauzer for ten and then when they show up early, you don’t have to be early.”
She laughed and grabbed her coffee. “His owner has to be at work on time so I figure I can be ten minutes early once a month.”
I grunted. “Taking my time with you away. I’ll be over later to see this schnauzer.”
Reva laughed and grabbed her purse. “Come visit him after Luna’s judge thingy so you can bring me a sub.”
I gave her a two finger salute. “You got it, Sunshine. As long as Luna doesn’t freak out on the judge, I’ll be there around lunch.”
She breezed out the door with a wave over her shoulder at me.
Ten minutes later, I twisted the lock on the door handle and pulled it closed behind me. I thought back to a week ago, before I met Reva, and shook my head. It was crazy how much things could change in such a short time. Now I was thinking I needed a key to her house.
Some of those changes weren’t great, but that was just life.
Frost had messaged me yesterday that he found some stuff out about Tanya from the girls staying at the clubhouse, but he didn’t think it was anything that was going to pan out. Detective Ransom had also gotten in touch with me and had told me a couple of deputies were going to stop out at the clubhouse today to talk to the girls.
