Chapter Four Mabel didn’t waste any time. After consulting her calendar and giving her plan considerable thought, she called her son. “This is Sheriff Baxter,” Cal’s deep voice proclaimed, all business. “Yes, dear, I know. Do you have any plans for Friday night?” “Hi, Mom. I don’t know. Why?” “Don’t be cagey with me. I need you to come to our house that night. It’s important.” “Why?” “I’m throwing a surprise party for your father.” She was glad he couldn’t see her triumphant smile. He’d recognize she was lying. But she knew her son. He’d be there for his father. “A surprise party? Will Dad like that? And what are you celebrating?” “You father will be delighted. And I’m not telling you what it’s for. It’s a secret. Will you be here?” She held her breath. If her son couldn’t make it, there would be no point to the party. “Of course I’ll be there. What time?” “It will start at seven, but you should come a half hour early to help me.”
