The
woman came off of the helicopter spouting orders like a sergeant at
arms. She had two agents with her and they worked at unloading the
luggage as she shouted instructions at them, not to them, but at them. Luggage. That was it. All that came off the helicopter was luggage.
Greyson’s
grin kept getting bigger and bigger as he watched her moving away from
the landing pad, the men lugging her belongings along behind her. He
folded his arms across his chest, stood on both feet and though he tried
not to grin, he just couldn’t help himself. At least she had the good
sense to dress for the out of doors, but what did she think she was
going to sleep in?
“Oh, good,” she said as she approached him, “you’ve already set up our tent.”
“No,
ma’am, I have not,” he said, smiling cordially. “If you’ll point me in
the direction of your tent, my men and I will be happy to set it up for
you. That tent over there would be for my men and I.”
“Not
anymore. You’ll have to figure something else out.” She stood in
front of him, as solid and unmoving as the mountains surrounding his
meadow.
“I believe you’ve not understood what I said,” he smiled, his amusement beginning to show.
“Oh,
I understand you just fine,” she smiled up at him cynically. “You
think that’s your tent, but as you can see, I don’t have one, so that
one is mine.”
“Ah,
I see, you work for the FBI. That’s what the problem is. However, in
Alaska,” he said, with no small amount of enjoyment, “we work for what
we have. You Washington D.C. types…well, you’re used to just taking
what you need, even when it’s not yours to take. I’m afraid that won’t
work around here. Sorry.” Then walking away from the stunned woman, he
called over his shoulder, “Good luck with those sleeping arrangements.
There’s probably room in the enclosure next to the casket, but those
wood chips could be a problem.”
If he’d had his hat on he would have tipped it at her, but as it was, he simply strolled casually to the tent and went inside.Check out the authors website to find out how to buy your own copy today!
