“Tod says to meet at his place.” I gave her directions, signed off and flipped my phone shut.
“You ready for this?” I asked Lottie.
“Ready to kick Dad’s ass? Fuck yeah,” Lottie replied.
I rolled my eyes.
Indy and Tod grinned at each other.
Guess Lottie had the seal of approval.
My phone rang again.
It said,Eddie calling.
“Uh-oh,” I muttered when I saw it.
“Eddie?” Indy asked immediately.
“Is that your new boyfriend?” Lottie asked.
Tod nodded for me.
I still wasn’t ready to fully commit to the boyfriend thing. I’d said it once and once was enough.
“Who told on me now?” I asked, flipping open the phone.
“Half a dozen you could choose from,” Indy answered.
My life sucked.
“Hello?” I said into the phone.
My opening was greeted with silence.
“Eddie?” I called when the silence went prolonged.
“You sure you want to stick with this boring tactic? Gotta tell you,chiquita, itseriouslyisn’t workin’.”
Wonderful.
“Lee phoned you,” I guessed.
“Lee, Hank, Duke, not to mention Mace and half a dozen cops who heard it on the grapevine and wanted to determine the commitment level of our relationship.”
I blinked at the table.
“Pardon?” I asked.
“For the record, I made it clear our commitment level is in the red zone,” he told me.
Dear Lord.
“We’ve only had one date,” I replied.
Silence.
Then some muttering in Spanish and finally, “We gotta have another chat?”
