they were. Whoever it was might try again. Getting him in the house was easier than she thought it would be. Mike was able to walk; he just needed her to steady himself on, and with a little pointing from her, they made it to the guest room. Maybe it wasn’t as bad as she’d originally thought? Lucy helped Mike get in the bed and grabbed some towels to put more pressure on the wound. Looking at it again, there was a lot more blood. Okay, maybe it was as bad as she thought; he was just really good at hiding it.
                  “You have some explaining to do,” she said, as she held the towels down.
                  “I know.”
                  “First off, why were you in my back yard?”
                  “I hadn’t seen you in a while and I wanted to make sure you were okay,” Mike answered.
                  “Well, why didn’t you call me or come see me at my front door instead of spying on me?”
                  “I thought you didn’t like me. I was afraid you’d slam the door in my face, and I don’t have your number.”
                  “Well, for your information, I’ve been wanting to see you again. I’ve just been busy with my book.”
                  “Damn,” he mumbled.
                  “What?” she asked, starting to panic. Was something wrong?
                  “Bill was right. The bastard is always right.” Lucy let out a little laugh. “I read your book,” he said with a smile.
                  “You did?” she asked. She didn’t think he actually would. It didn’t seem like his thing, and honestly most people didn’t when she gave them a copy.
                  “Yeah, I actually read it in one day. It’s not something I would normally read, but I liked it. I ordered a few more of them.”
                  “I’m glad you liked it. I really didn’t think you would. It’s meant for teen girls. I mean, sure, adults read it, but generally not men,” she replied.
                  There was a knock at her door. It had to be Bill. There was no one else who would be banging on her door in the middle of her working on a book. They knew better.
                  “I’ll be right back,” she said, moving his hands to the towels. Lucy stood and opened the door to the bald man from the bar. It was the guy Lexi thought was hot. She would love to know he was standing in her house. “Bill?”
                  “Why is he at your house?” he asked.
                  “Because he was shot in my back yard,” she answered just as curtly as he had asked.
                  “He was shot?” Bill asked as he pushed his way into the house.
                  “Yes he was shot. What did you think happened to him?”
                  “I thought he’d been in another fight. Why didn’t you tell me when you called?”
                  “Because I was flustered and dealing with a man bleeding all over me,” she said, getting angry.
                  “Where is he?” he asked, looking around the living room.
                  “He’s down the hall, first door on the left,” she said, pointing the way.
     
     

 
     
     
     
     
    Chapter 9
     
                  How could she not tell him Mike had been shot? It was just a little bit important, seeing as he didn’t always carry bullet extraction equipment with him. He really hoped he had everything he needed.
                  “Hey kid,” he said to Mike when he saw him on the bed.
                  “Don’t you think you can stop calling me kid? I think I’ve outgrown it by now,” Mike said with a small smile.
                  “Yeah, I’ll stop calling you kid when I stop getting phone calls for me to come patch you
