He excused himself and followed the young man into the wine cellar. “Well, I see it didn’t take you long to find a new friend,” Mike said, kneeling down and petting Caesar. “I think he’s lonesome, and we’re kind of bonding. Anyway, I miss Rebel and Lady, so I don’t mind having him around. I imagi...
I’ll see you later. Winston, come.” She and the big boxer walked to her van and drove to Madame Dika’s home. She knew she was early, but she hoped the extra time might provide her with a way to see if the gun in the nightstand was Seth’s. Liz opened the door of Madame Dika’s, and she and Winston ...
Did you find anything else out from Sid?”“Yes, it has to do with Ray’s antique fishing equipment. Evidently Ray had it insured for a lot of money, and Sid asked what I was going to do with it.

Mike walked over to her van and opened the door for Kelly and Lady, kissing her on the cheek and giving Lady a pat on the head. “We’ve got to stop meeting this way,” he said, grinning. “Kind of nice to come home to my wife. You’re the best thing that’s happened to me all day!” ...
You can fix that for me anytime. Mussels, clams, and shrimp in a white wine broth with garlic, herbs, and parsley. Plenty of bread for dunking and a salad to balance the taste. What's not to like about that?” Roger asked rubbing his stomach. “I'm stuffed. I probably should run back and forth to t...
She motioned for Lady to come with her. For the last few weeks when Kelly left early in the morning for the coffee shop, Rebel had opted to stay at the house with Mike.
