papers to me.
    “How
long will this order take to enforce?”
    “You
can fill these out now. I’ll submit them today and they should be completed by
mid-morning on Monday. With luck, he will be served by Tuesday evening. Make
sure you give two good addresses for us to serve him at and the times he’s
likely to be available. The better we can place him, the sooner he can be
served.”
    He
walked away for a few moments to let us handle the forms with some privacy.
    “That
wasn’t as bad as you thought it would be.” Conrad said as his elbow nudged
mine.
    “No,
but when Jason gets the papers on Tuesday he’ll be hell on wheels. I can hang
out with someone for a few days when that happens.”   I smiled nervously as I said that and went
back to my forms.
    After
about fifteen minutes the fees were paid and Conrad was walking me back to his
truck. I had Detective Montrose’s card in my purse. Conrad was carrying the
forms that the rest of the gang would need to turn in. I could feel my head
throbbing and was more than ready to go home. I guess Conrad could figure out
how I was feeling, because once at my place, he said he wouldn’t stay long.
    “I
just want to make sure this place is safe before I drive home.”
    He
walked me upstairs then took the keys to open the door for me. I stayed just
inside the door as he investigated each room.
    “It’s
hard for you to see if anything’s out of place if you’ve never been in here
before, don’t you think?”
    “He
might have left a clue that he had been here. Come see if anything is out of
place.”
    I
walked around for a moment.
    “No,
everything seems to be in order. Do you want me to see if he tried on any of my
nighties?”
    I
waited to see if he took the bait.
    “Don’t
joke about that. Jason could’ve been here waiting for you. Please take this
seriously. I know what I’m talking about. I’ve personally seen the evidence of
another stalker like this.”
    “Everything
seems to be where I left it. I’ll let you get back to your work and I’ll go
take a short nap. Call me later. I’ll call the girls about the forms before I
go lay down.”
    “Just
lock up when I leave and make sure to tell the girls about Jason getting served
in a couple of days. We all need to be prepared for any surprises he might
have. Maybe he’ll get the message and leave you alone.”
    “It
would be great if he never showed up again. Now give me those forms and get on
your way.”
    “Are
you trying to get rid of me?” Conrad asked as he wrapped his arms around me.
    “No,
wouldn’t dream of it. My head is throbbing and you have things to do. I’m just
letting you go handle them without having to make excuses.”
    “Kiss
me good-bye and lock this place up.”
    I
did just as he said. I don’t know what was louder, my beating heart or the
locks on the door. I was smiling as I lay down with Bella and called Chastity.
Chastity would call me when she left the store to get the forms for Detective
Montrose.
    An
hour later I woke up, but didn’t see Bella. I found her by the front door where
she was batting a piece of paper that had been jammed in the doorway. I picked
up Bella and the paper to see what it was.

 
    I told you to get rid
of him. Why do you have to be this way?
     
    I
was furious. I crushed the note and threw it across the room. Bella ran over to
it, and then started batting it around again. He wasn’t worth the energy it’d
take to yell at him over the phone.
    “Well,
at least you’re able to have fun with that garbage,” I said to her as I went in
the kitchen to fix myself a sandwich.
    Before
I got the bread out, I heard my phone ring.
    “Hey
girl, I’m all closed up so I thought I’d drop by to get those forms. Is that
cool?”
    “Sure
Chaz, come on by. Are you just getting the one for you or are you getting them
to pass around for everyone else?”
    “I’ll
grab mine and Parker’s since we’re meeting for dinner tonight. We’ll take them
by the
