Was he insane?
We didn’t have time for that!
“But—”
Tex boomed, “Get your ass in here, girl.”
There it was!
No time for that.
Mo looked toward my living room.
I looked toward my living room.
It was filled with the Hot Bunch.
Tex appeared in the archway.
“What did I say?”he demanded (in another boom).
“Tex—”
“Eddie got the word.Smithie had some lunatic who wasfixated on you and sending detailed letters of how he was going tocleanseyou,” Tex stated (loudly, as well as irately).“Andyou.Youdidn’t call in meor the boys.”
Eddie appeared at Tex’s side.
“Lottie, get in here,” he growled.
Oh man.
I felt Mo’s hand come to the small of my back and he putpressure there.
Apparently, he’d realized it was time to handle this.
Immediately.
But at that juncture I wanted to dig in my heels.However,since I was an adult and not ten minutes ago had decided to act like one, Iprobably shouldn’t go back on that now.
Tex and Eddie got out of our way so we could hit the livingroom.
My living room wasn’t small, as such.
And it didn’t seem tiny with all those big men in there.
It seemed miniscule with all those big men being seriouslyticked off at me in there.
“Uh—” I started.
“Hawk had it covered.I had her covered.It’s done,” Mo saidover me.
Was heseeingthese men?
I mean…
Did hereallythink that was going to work?
“We’ll get toyounext,” Tex boomed at him.
