CHAPTER 14: Terry
––––––––
Two days later, Terry stumbled into Ethan’s office.
“Hey.” Ethan looked up from his desk. “You look like shit.”
“I’m feeling a bit off.” He flopped onto the couch.
“Off? You’re green.” Ethan stood. “You need to go. I am not getting sick.”
“I’m not sick. I never get sick.”
“Well, buy a lottery ticket because never just arrived.” Ethan pointed to the door. “Go home. Come back when you’re not contagious.”
He stood, pulling Maggie’s check from his pocket. “Give this to Maggie for me.”
“No.” Ethan backed away as if Terry held a bomb. “I’m not taking anything that you touch. Go home.”
“Come on. She needs the money.”
“Mail it.”
“That’ll take days. I’ve had it too long already.” He’d forgotten about it until he’d checked his pockets before washing his jeans.
