Bennett 06 - Gone
“I blinked at the screen, not knowing what to think. I didn’t get many calls these days. Actually, I guess I had a bit of an idea. Both of the calls were from the same person, Emily Parker of the FBI.
I wanted to call her back right there and then, but I knew I needed some privacy. My little, and not-so-little, Bennett pitchers had big ears, and if it was something important, I didn’t want to get everyone riled up. Or more riled up than usual.
When we met back up with Seamus and the girls, who were done with the milking, I told Mary Catherine that I was going to walk the mile and a half of country road back to our house.
“Any particular reason for the sudden return to nature?” my sharp-as-a-tack nanny wanted to know.
“Just need a little exercise,” I said.
“Is that right?” Mary Catherine said, her blarney detector obviously going off like gangbusters. “Whatever you say, Mike.”
Gravel sprayed as she drove away with my brood. I slipped my phone out of my pocket as the car crested the hill.
