I chuckled. “Seems like the norm for the girl that I used to know.”
“I’m not that naïve little girl, Greg.”
“Sweetheart, you were never naïve. You have always had brass balls and a determination to do anything that you wanted to do. No one could ever pull anything on you.”
“You really think so?” she asked after a moment.
“Of course I do, Mags. You were the strongest woman I knew back then, one of the strongest women I know now.”
“Then you’re going to let me go with you on this delivery.”
“Maggie, you haven’t finished the courses.”
She laughed, and I glanced at her. “Seriously? Do you think that I’m not going to be able to pass the bookwork or firearms? Do you forget who you are talking to?”
“Maggie, I know that you can pass the tests, and you are probably a pretty good shot—most women who enjoy shooting are—but that doesn’t mean that you should be going.”
“Why not?”
I pulled my truck to the curb in front of her house. “Can we not do this right now? We need to go in so we can let Trevor and Davina go home.”
“Fine, but then you are going to answer the question, Greg.”
“Yeah, we’ll see.”
Maggie knocked on the locked door, and we waited. Trevor peered through the window and let us in. “How is she?” Maggie asked as soon as the door cracked.
“She’s fine, sleeping actually. How are you?”
“I’m fine. Trevor, I can’t thank you enough.”
Trevor put his hand on her shoulder and smiled down at her; if I didn’t know how much he loved Davina, I would be jealous as hell. “Davina and Devon did most of it. Come on, let me introduce them before we get out of your hair.”
Davina was putting Devon into his car seat when we came into the living room. “Maggie, this is Davina, and our little guy, Devon.”
Maggie glanced at the baby, smiled slightly, and then touched Davina’s arm. “Thank you so much.”
“You’re welcome. I’m glad we were able to help. Your mom enjoyed playing with Devon and went up to bed about thirty minutes ago.”
“I’m going to go check on her. Thank you again. I owe you one.”
Maggie squeezed Trevor’s arm as she walked past him and then raced up the stairs.
“What happened?”
“You’re not going to believe this,” I said with a chuckle and then told him what Maggie had done and how the cops thought she was involved.
Trevor laughed. “Jesus, she’s a trip.”
“Yeah, she is. Thanks again for helping us out.”
“Us?”
“Her, okay, smart-ass.”
He slapped me on the back. “I’ll talk to you tomorrow, and we’ll discuss that rat problem at the range. Maggie’s still up for training tomorrow, right?”
“Yeah, probably more than ever right now,” I muttered and saw them to the door.
