staff, and they agree with me. When something does happen we need all of them. The town might not be big, but the townspeople’s homes are spread out and cover a large area. We also have a pilot that works with us part-time when we have to go up in our helicopter. He owns the feed store down the block and can get away pretty much at a moment’s notice.”
    “I’m impressed.” Sylvia glanced at her watch as she signed the last form. “I’d better hurry. I’m meeting Gina at Millie’s.”
    “It’s a good place to eat. I’ll walk out with you. I go home for lunch. My wife says I eat too much junk food when I eat at Millie’s. She’s into watching my cholesterol ever since Dr. Rand told her it was high.” He sighed. “I miss Millie’s. Hopefully my wife will get off of this healthy-eating kick sometime in the next few months.” He locked the door to the office and waved as Sylvia started walking toward the restaurant.
    Gina waited out front. “I was beginning to worry about you.”
    “I got a job, and I was signing the paperwork to start Monday.”
    “What? Where?”
    “Let’s get seated and order, then I’ll tell you all about it.”
    Once Millie had taken them to a back booth and brought their tea, Gina couldn’t wait any longer. “Tell me.”
    “I’m going to work in Sheriff Grady’s office.”
    “What gave you that idea? Did you see the ad in the local paper?”
    “No, but when I walked in, he thought I had.” Sylvia told her all about their conversation.
    Millie returned with their hamburgers, onion rings, and shakes.
    “These are so good. I’ve been craving the onion rings.”
    “Are you trying to tell me something?”
    “We were going to announce our news on Sunday at Mom Jane’s house, but I guess I can tell you. Graham and I are expecting a baby.” Gina beamed. “We’ve kept it our own secret for a while, but loose blouses aren’t going to hide my stomach much longer.”
    “That’s great. I’m so happy for you. How did Graham take hearing he was about to become a father?”
    “At first, he said he’d never be able to write again with all the noise, but I knew he was teasing. Then he grabbed me up and held me close and told me how much he loved me and the child we were expecting. He paid extra money to speed up the building of our house. I think they finished it in record time, and he’s already painted the room I chose for the baby.”
    “That man has really changed since meeting you and falling in love. I’d never have believed it until I saw it with my own eyes.”
    “I was going to talk to you about his cabin. He never goes there to write anymore. He writes in his office at home. If you’d like to stay at the cabin, we wouldn’t mind.”
    “What a tactful way of saying you almost newlyweds want to be alone. I’d love to stay in the cabin. I need some alone time myself.”
    “Great. And there’s a phone if you get scared.”
    Her words reminded Sylvia of the phone call she’d received. “Did Graham get a call this morning from our old boss?”
    “Not that I know of. Why?”
    Sylvia bit the edge of her lip. “I’d rather talk directly to him. Do you mind?”
    “No. I’m not interested in his old job. But that boss better not try to pull him into one more assignment.”
    “If he does, I think it will be a close one.” Sylvia decided to go ahead and tell her about the call. She’d find out from Graham and it might as well come from her. After explaining to Gina, Gina reached across and took her hand.
    “You can’t stay alone at the cabin. I’d worry myself sick. As soon as we finish eating, we’ll go talk to Graham.”
    “All right, but I still prefer the cabin. I have a gun, and I know how to use it.”
    Gina shivered. “Thinking about your old job scares me. Please consider staying here in Frontier City.”
    “Can you really picture me happy in this little town?”
    “Yes, I can. Sam is attracted to you. Everyone has noticed, and I think you’re
