Elaine Orr - Jolie Gentil 05 - Trouble On the Doorstep
“I looked at Mister Rogers. He had been following me around the great room, apparently unsure why I stayed on my feet when there was a perfectly good loveseat to sit on. “You’d pace, too, if you could get arrested any minute.”
He gave a kind of mutter and nudged my hand. I walked to the pantry to get a treat, and Miss Piggy was at his side in a second. “You’re worse than he is,” I said to her. She didn’t care.
I tried to calculate the odds that Brennan would turn me in. I was pretty sure... he wouldn’t, or he would have already done it. Why not call the police?
I made a cup of tea and carried it to the loveseat. Mister Rogers looked at me with a hopeful expression. Or I thought it was, anyway. I pointed to the sliding glass door and he loped over there and plopped on the rug next to Miss Piggy.
If Brennan wanted to be sure that I knew he knew I’d been in his office after hours, there had to be a reason for telling me he knew.MoreLess
