The next morning there was a knock on the bedroom door. I looked at the clock. I wasn’t really early. It was already 8:30am. There was another knock. I answered this time, “ What do you want?” “Its Jeff and I have your breakfast,” Jeff replied. I responded with, ”Could you have Lisa bring it in?” Jeff said, ”Lisa is very busy. I am just going to drop it off.” Before I could say anything else he was in the door with a tray in his hand and a hat on his head. “I just need to give you this stuff. You don’t have to worry I am not staying,” Jeff said. I sat up and he put this tray across my legs with eggs, toast, orange juice. Bacon, hashbrowns and flowers. He said, ”Here is a phone. My dad wants to check on you to see if you are ok. He said he was planning a job for you and wants to ask if it is ok. I hope I didn’t over cook the bacon I like my bacon really done. Oh, and I bought you this hat its for work.” I was a black hat, with a scarf around the top and a Blue buttery fly on it. I liked it and said,” Thankyou.” And he was out of there shutting the door behide him. I liked the hat and the breakfast but I thought he was just trying to get me to like him with this hit and run technique. I didn’t trust him but didn’t know what to do about it. I should have locked my door but forgot. So it was my fault.
The breakfast was great. I left the tray on the dresser and was settling back in when John called. I wanted to cry when the phone rang. I thought. Why is this so hard for me to get over? I need to suck it up and move on. I answered the phone, ”Hello.” John said, ”Hello this is John. I am so glad to get to talk to you. How are you doing sweetheart? Lisa said you haven’t been well.” I responded, “ I’m fine, how about you.” John came back with, I’m good. I wanted to tell you to put anything that is bothering you behind you. I love you too much to see you fret over silly things that might have happened. Do you think you can do that for me?” I said, ”Sure John. If that is what you want?” John came back with, ”I am getting you some work so you can get out of the house. Is Jeff treating good.” I responded, “Yes he’s fine.” John spoke up,” I want you to tell me if there is any problem with Jeff. If doesn’t treat you good I will skin him alive. I wont put up with any more nonsense from him or anyone else there. I want you to call me right away if there is any kind of problem with anyone in the house at all. Will you do that?” I said, ”Yes, of course. I’ll call you.” John replied, I don’t want you to for get I love you very much and I want you to be happy. So, I call again tomorrow. Love you, Bye”. I replied, ”Love you too, Bye.” I thought about what John had said. I need to get up and get moving. This mopping around was childish.
There was a knock on the door. It was Jeff again. He came in picked up the tray and phone. He said, “If you need anything, anything at all. Let me know or if you want to go somewhere.” I said, “I might go home and see about my dog. I have someone taking care of her, but I miss her. What is this work?” Jeff said,” I have a group of guys we go out and find bad guys and bring them in.” Lisa came in the door, handed Jeff a paper and me one. Lisa said,” John wants you too to work on this.” I looked at a paper and it said some FBI people and sheriffs had been disappearing in Idaho. Jeff spoke up, ”This is what I was talking about. One guy goes missing, so they send someone out to find him and before long 4 or 5 guys are missing. So we go find out what happened to them.” I remarked, “Do you usually so you dead.” Jeff said, “Yes, but we usually find out who did it and put a stop to it.” “It usually pays really good. I will make some phone calls and make a plan on where, when and how we should go about this. I hope you like ridding horses?” I nodded my head and said, “Ok.” He was off again.
I got dressed and went home to see about my dog.
