“Great. What can I do for you?”

“Get me in for dinner Saturday night around six. Please.”

“Good thing you added that ‘please’ or I would have told you to fuck off.”

Nate laughed. “I have good manners.” He continued to grin as Grant laughed.

“Let me call you back.” Grant hung up.

“Nate.”

He turned to see Beau coming toward him.

“Hey, Beau. What’s up?”

“Just on my way back out. How’s it going?”

“Fine. I hate being down a man, but I’ll hire someone soon.”

“Did you post about the job?”

“Yeah. I posted yesterday and have about ten interviews lined up. We had a lot of resumes, but some didn’t sound like they knew the difference between a horse’s ass and its face.”

Beau chuckled. “We can’t have that, can we?”

“No. What are you doing home so early?”

“I finished up a case and decided to head home to my beautiful wife to have lunch with her, and she’s not even here.” Beau grinned.

Nate laughed. “I’m sure she’ll be home soon.”

“Yeah, she will be. She went into town to do some shopping. I’ll head back to the office for a while.”

“Does Brenna get bored during the summer with school being out?”

“Sometimes, but she spends a lot of time with my mother. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad.”

As Nate was about to answer, his phone buzzed from his pocket, and he removed it to see Grant’s number.

“Excuse me, I need to take this.”

“That’s fine.”

Nate answered the phone. “Hey, Grant.”

“Nate, I was able to get you in at six.”

“I appreciate it, Grant.”

“No problem.” Grant hung up.

“Had to call Grant to get into the restaurant, huh?” Beau grinned.

“I did. It’s a good thing I’m friends with him.”

“Yeah, been there. Hey, I’ll see you later.”

“Alright. Have a good evening.”
