Fido, Book #3 of the Asps Series - Some light humor after a mission.

Today’s excerpt is from Fido, Book #3 of the nine-book Asps Series.  Returning from a mission, the team has some fun at Ike’s expense.  Enjoy and have a great day.

On the trip, Harry suggested they fly into Billings and let Ike off, since his family lived there.  Harry would remember back to that decision with fondness.  When the plane landed in Billings and Ike started to get off, Harry looked at him and asked, “Do you have a key to get in?”

“Oh, for God’s sake, I forgot again—and Beth is working.  Naturally, the kids are in school.  Dammit all to hell.  When will I learn?”

Harry sighed.  “Probably never.  Come on, I’ll rent a car and take you home…and pick your front door lock for…what now, the third time?  You’re gonna have to learn how to pick locks, or start remembering your key.”

Harry looked at Bruce.  “You can forward my mail to the condo unit Jim set aside for us here in Billings.”

Bruce chuckled and asked, “What mail?  You haven’t gotten a letter in the last year, which I can think of.”

Harry shrugged.  “Yeah, well, you never know…one of these days.  Jack, you wanna tag along?  We might get lucky.”

“No, thanks.  The last time I went bar hopping’ with you, all I got was a nasty hangover the next day.  You damned Jarheads seem to have hollow wooden legs…uh, no offense, Sarah.”

“None taken…but don’t ask Bear about my drinking’ ability.”

When Bear and Sarah had met, she was sloppy drunk—for the only time in her life—and to his credit, he managed not to bring up the subject since.  Now, however, he smiled, “Best leave that one alone, if I don’t want to move to a new bungalow.”
