Today’s excerpt is from Too
Many Women, the first of three Bob Becker books. Bob calls old friends Dan and Janet Orf in
Los Angeles to round up some help (and fly them to Missouri) to help protect
Bob’s new client. She witnessed a murder
in Los Angeles before getting to Bob in Missouri and hiring him for
protection. Dan agrees to ask Hector
Garcia for a couple of his men to lend a hand and agrees to bring two LAPD
detectives to interview the witness. Enjoy
and have a fantastic day.

As he dialed
Dan’s number, Bob glanced at his watch, saw it was only ten to eleven, and
sighed as he hoped he wasn’t calling too early, due to the time
difference. Dan answered on the second
ring, “Hi, Bob. How’re you doin’?”
“Well—okay, I
guess. Had an incident at my office
today,” Bob answered. Then he told Dan
what had happened, and the circumstances leading up to the shoot-out.
“Okay, well if
you need some help, I can give Hector a call, get a couple of his guys
together, round up some coppers, then head back your way. Two guys from Hector gonna be enough?”
“I sure hope
so. You know my layout here—two should
do. Sure appreciate your help.”
The ‘Hector’ Dan
mentioned was Hector Garcia. Hector was
a retired Marine Master Sergeant who had several businesses in the Los Angeles California
Finished with
the call, Bob looked at Terri. “You stay
put right here in the kitchen until Bill gets back. I’ll see you in a while.”
“I’ve got Tillie
to protect me. If she’s near as tough as
her master, I’ll be safe as a bug in a rug.
So…what kind of disguise are you gonna get for me?”
Before Bob could
answer, Bill got back and heard Terri’s question. “He’s gonna dress you up as a clown.”
