Today’s excerpt is from Too
Many Women, the first of three Bob Becker books. Bob organizes things to protect Terri. Enjoy and have a wonderful day.
m.j.
After Bob
introduced Terri and Bill, the latter asked, “Terri got anything to do with all
the ruckus? Your exploits are all over
the news. Said you killed two guys who
shot up your office.”
Bob grinned, and
nodded, “Yeah…but only one of them’s dead.”
“Witnesses said
they both looked dead.”
“Naw, just
one. The other one was out cold
though…can see where someone could have made the mistake of thinking they were
both dead. Terri’s gotta problem…which we’re gonna help her solve.”
“Oh boy, just
what I need…to get shot at…thanks a heap.
What did you do, Terri?”
“I was home when
my husband killed a woman. The two Bob
shot came after me. Guess more will be
coming. Hope I don’t put you two in too
much danger.”
“Nothin’ old Bob
can’t handle, if I don’t miss my guess.”
“Okay, Bill,
here’s what I’ve got in mind. I’m gonna
call some friends from the west coast and get us some help. Terri, by the way, lives in L.A.
She flew in this morning, came straight to my office and just as she
walks in, the fun began. The L.A. cops are gonna want
to talk to her. So I’m thinking I’ll
call Dan Orf…you remember him and his wife, Jan, I’m sure.”
“Oh, yeah, the
hot redhead…er…and her husband.”
Terri grinned as
Bob nodded. “One…or two…in the
same. After I make the call, got a few
things to take care of. Wanna get Terri
a disguise, then check on the guy I shot who isn’t dead yet, and hunker down
until the bad guys make their move. I’d
like you to move in here until Dan and help arrive.”
“Okay, let me go
get a few things and I’ll be right back.
Go ahead, make your call, or calls, and I’ll be back before you get done
more-n-likely.”
