I made it up to the kitchen after the shower and a change of clothes and saw Jim making a big breakfast for everyone. Don handed me a cup of coffee a...d we went out onto the first-floor deck while Jim was cooking..“Is everything OK?” Don asked with a look of concern on his face.“Yes, I think she is fine. She was really concerned about what you and I thought of her afterwards, “ I said.“We have gotten pretty close since the divorce,” Don said. “I helped her move her stuff out of her old house. Bottom line, remember that the General has the portal thing we got from Morales’ cave that can communicate with Selina no matter where she is. But, make that a last resort. Otherwise, do what you think best.”“Jeff, you know we will,” Evie injected.“Of course I do. Your intelligence and your integrity are just some of the reasons you two are in charge.”“We’ll have a list of questions in a few days,” Evie said.Jeff chuckled. “Chances are all I’ll say is, do what you think best.”Several weeks. One weekend when the girls were away on a weekend school trip to New York City Matt and I had our house to ourselves so we got into a bit of trouble with a few joints, a couple 12 packs of beer and a bottle of vodka. We thought a 2 day drunk sounded real grown-up, good practice for Spring Break, but we ended up with massive hang-overs on Sunday. Friday night was a great time getting drunk and watching sports, but Saturday we got extremely blotto. The one thing that came out of that weekend was. It had stopped bleeding by the time we got there, so there was not as much of a mess left in the cell we dropped him in as you might expect. I closed and locked the cell to keep scavengers away, both four legged and two legged.Carlsbad was the county seat, so I looked up the sheriff the next morning and had him verify that I had, indeed, killed Red Eye McCall and was eligible for the reward. The reward was payable in Texas, so I got a receipt from the sheriff of Eddy County for the body of Red.
