I told her to go with Sam to find Tamara.I edged up to the front of the store and sure enough, the young man whose nose I had broken was standing acro...s the street in the plaza. A couple of minutes later two more guys walked up. They did their gang handshake and he pointed over to the store where I was watching. I didn't think they could see me.My cell phone rang. It was Sam. He told me all the women were at the Ore House. He said the police hadn't yet arrived. While we were talking three more. That removed Jack from the meeting, which in turn, removed any need for a meeting. I was headed north on I-81 before nine.I pulled into my driveway just after noon while my wife, Brooke, wasn't expecting me home before dark. I was grinning to myself about how surprised she would be as I opened the front door.I noticed several things immediately. First, the aroma of Brooke's special recipe cake frosting filled my nostrils. Then I saw the door to the laundry room, which was to the left of the. It was far enough away to keep Brenda and Cindi from being drawn into the drama surrounding George's suicide-by-cop.I called and booked two of their best suites for a week, then used my GPS again to find an all-day boat ride so we could see all the sights on the lake. Glacier National Park was there, and it looked like a great way to spend another day.I needed a new wardrobe, so on the way, we could stop over in Missoula, spend a day shopping, then drive up to Flat Head Lake in the late. There were hundreds of people all around and it was noisy. I guess I dropped off. Suddenly I felt some lips brush mine and linger for a minute. Then a whispered, "Thank you." I felt the person get up and I heard her run down the bank.I opened my eyes. Andrea was looking at me. I asked, "What was that all about?" Adrian, that was Phyllis saying good-bye to the man that has been closest to her recently. One she has always looked up to. I told her that things were going to be a lot different for.
