Today’s excerpt is from Bigfoot
Bait, Book #2 of the Becker Trilogy.
Nearly finished with their drive from Missouri to Spokane, Washington,
Dan calls Jim and those two have a bit of fun discussing the current situation. Enjoy and have a great day.
m.j.
As those two
continued to talk as they followed along, Dan and Janet were drawing ever
nearer to Spokane. They had found the
station where Biden had filled up for the last time before reaching, then
passing through the city. While Janet
drove, Dan was busy doing what he felt would be his final plot.
When he
finished, he called Jim. Jim answered,
“We’re trying to get some sleep, here, Dan.
What you got?”
“Sorry about
your lack of sleep…like hell, I am. I
ever get in another bed, I may never get out.
Anyhow, I’d bet his next stop after Spokane will be about thirty miles
or so past it. Somewhere around
mid-morning. Spunky and I’ll be pulling
into Spokane around ten.”
As Janet shot
Dan a dirty look, Jim laughed, “By your ‘Spunky’ comment about Jan, I assume
she’s been giving you grief?”
“You might
say. In fairness, she has done a good deal more of our
driving, since I’ve been busy plotting the course. Also, she’s having a caffeine rush from all
the coffee she’s consumed. I’m sorta in
the same boat, but am handling it a lot better.”
“Says you, pal.”
Jim chuckled,
“Tell her I heard her.”
“I’m sure she
knows already. She said it loud enough
to make sure you would hear. Anyhow, see you in the morning—later in the morning.”
“Yeah, well—if
you get in by ten, we’ll still have an hour or so before check-out, so you can
use our room for a power nap.”
“Go to hell,
Scott.”
Jim was laughing
as he finished the call. Holly—now
awake, too—just looked at him before he explained Dan’s side of the
conversation. When he finished, she
groaned, “Wonderful. Can we get back to
sleep…please?”
