The Apprenticeship of Julian St. Albans
““You might as well yell,” said Julian, hiding his face in Alex’s hip with a yawn. “M’awake.”
Alex stroked his hair. “Sorry, love,” he whispered, covering the phone.
Then his face hardened and he removed his hand and said, quite loudly and angrily, “You are not welcome in my home, Agent Fischer, and I am absolutely positive you don’t have a warrant and can’t come in uninvited.”
“Ugh, him,” said Julian, snuggling closer. “He’s a jerkface.”
“No,”
said Alex one more time, and then he hung up. “One ...more call, sorry.”
He stroked Julian’s hair. “This one will have less yelling.”
Julian yawned. “Wha’ time’sit?” he mumbled.
Alex chuckled. “You’ve got a few minutes if you want to sleep more.” He found the right name in his contacts and tickled the shell of Julian’s ear before hitting the call button. “Supervising Agent Mallory? It’s Alex Benedict.”
“Ooh, gettin’ someone in trouble,” said Julian with a grin that turned into another yawn.MoreLess
