Chapter 29 Jacksonville, FL AS SOON AS MICKEY was on his way back to work, Chris took a long, hot shower. Then he dressed and went into the den to consult a calendar before he called Mickey. “Hi, what’s up?” Mickey said. “Christmas is on a Wednesday this year. Do you know what days you have off that week?” “I haven’t a clue.” “Find out and call me; then I’ll call St. Vincent’s and arrange my schedule accordingly. I want to have our reservations nailed down by this evening—this close to the event, rooms might be hard to find.” “I’ll call you as soon as I know,” Mickey said. “Then make it soon, Number One.” “Will do. Bye.” CHRIS AND TED boarded their usual flight the next morning and settled down in their seats. “Are you getting tired of flying to Atlanta every week?” Chris said.
