Game On

Chapter 2-2

Jake had the evening shift again—which was good, as he hadn't managed to get to sleep for a few hours after the encounter with Angela.

As it was, he spent most of the morning trying to figure out what to do or say.

Do I call her?

Do I not call her?

There had to be more to this impromptu visit than just a desire for her mom's home cooking.

Opportunity presented itself when he went to the grocery store and spotted Mary-Ann Kenzie. His relationship with Angela's mother hadn't been the best when they were dating, but they'd settled into a comfortable detente when Jake arrived to take over as Chief.

If she's here, Angela's alone.

A good time to visit.

He headed for the express checkout counter, noting Mary-Ann was busy chatting in line to another woman in line, two customers away from paying from her groceries.

There were advantages to being a policeman.

Least of which was being allowed to speed and ignore street lights if necessary, for a good cause.

And checking in on Angela qualified as a good cause.
