Nick of Time (A Bug Man Novel)
“Two of her dogs sat obediently beside her, one on either side like canine bookends. On her left was Dante, one of the enormous black neo-mastiffs that she always kept nearby for protection; on her right was tiny little Ruckus, the gawky Chinese crested that looked like a half-plucked chicken with its tongue hanging out.
She glanced down at her cell phone for the umpteenth time and remembered what Nick had told her: Three bars on the right means your battery is good; three bars on the left means... you’re getting a signal. She remembered something else Nick had told her too: I’ll call at exactly nine o’clock. She checked the time—it was now 9:45.
She could have kicked herself for walking instead of driving; she could be waiting for Nick’s call in the privacy of her truck instead of standing on a street corner like some hooker. But it took less time to take the footpath directly down the mountain than it did to make the drive to Endor on the long and winding road—and she didn’t like to pass up an opportunity to exercise her dogs.MoreLess
