“She’s a bit protective of me,” Kaleb said and tugged her closer to him.
Ray looked dumbfounded, which he understood.Kaleb was twice her size and outweighed her by at least one hundred pounds.
When the doors opened, the guy walked out and turned.“It was nice to meet you.”
“You, too,” Myla said.
Kaleb led her in the opposite direction.“Ray didn’t mean anything by that.”
“He was an ass,” Myla said, bluntly making Kaleb chuckle.
“I’m going to have to keep you close to prevent you from hurting someone.You’re a feisty little woman.”
She looked up at him and smiled.“Only with you.”
He rolled his eyes and then grunted when she elbowed him.
“Come on.We need to go this way.”
They walked down a few hallways until they came to a bigger room with desks sectioned off.
“Kaleb,” a man yelled and lifted his hand.
“What did you break?’Kaleb asked when they came even with his friend’s desk.
Jeff looked at Myla and then back to Kaleb.“I didn’t break anything.I just think I temporarily lost it.”
Kaleb snorted and flicked his hand.“Move it.”
Jeff gave up his chair to Kaleb.
Kaleb could see that Jeff’s curiosity was getting the better of him.
“Jeff, this is Myla.Baby, this guy and I are both studying to be detectives.”
Myla raised her hand.“It’s nice to meet you.”
Jeff shook hers.“Yeah, you, too.I didn’t know you were dating anyone, buddy.”
Kaleb grinned.“I didn’t know I had to tell you everything.”
Jeff rolled his eyes.
Myla stood behind Kaleb, set her hands on his shoulders, and tried to keep up with what he was doing.
“He’s good, isn’t he?”Jeff asked her.
She nodded.“He’ll have to show me some of his tricks.”
“He’s tried to teach me over the years, and I still have a hard time.”
Kaleb looked at them over his shoulder.“It’s only because I grew up with a schoolteacher.I didn’t get away with not doing my homework.”
Myla chuckled.
“Okay, there it is.Let’s see if you can go a day without having to call me.”
“Since you’re going to be here tomorrow, I won’t have to call.”
