definitely true.
    As soon as he put the guy on the ground, Mike made a beeline for Jenna, and, while he didn’t exactly cower behind her, he did stick pretty close to her side.
    Mike must’ve seen Andy’s displeasure with his proximity to Jenna but, even though the guy practically quivered like a hairless Chihuahua in a snow storm, he didn’t move.
    “Jenna, who is this guy?”
    “And why would you think this was any of your business, Mike? What are you doing here? I thought you went with Joss.”
    Mike flushed a bright, uncomfortable red. “I was going to but my mom needed me at home. She’d be all alone if I left and…”
    Jenna actually looked sorry for the guy and Andy had to admit it was kind of pitiful.
    “So now you’re following me around?”
    “No! Well, not really.” Mike gave Andy a furtive look before leaning closer to Jenna. “Joss told me why he asked you to come here and I think I found something you need to see.”
    Well, shit. That didn’t sound good but Jenna just rolled her eyes.
    “Whatever it is you think you found, Mike, I’m sure it won’t interest me.”
    Mike deliberately ignored her or, more likely, he didn’t pick up on Jenna’s tone, which definitely told Mike to get lost. Instead, he started tugging Jenna toward the B&B.
    Andy was about to go rescue his damsel but the damsel didn’t appear to need any help as she made a short, sharp motion and freed herself from Mike’s grip. Before he could attach himself to her arm again, and before Andy could grab the guy by the scruff and give him a shake for daring to touch Jenna, she held up one index finger and stared Mike down as if he were a first-grader having a temper tantrum.
    If Andy had had a teacher like Jenna, he probably would’ve flunked out of school because all he’d do all day was stare at her.
    Finally, Mike actually stomped his foot like a child. “Jenna, you gotta come with me. Joss will have my head on a platter if anything happens to you.”
    “And again, I say, I’m old enough to take care of myself. And older than you by five years.”
    Andy made a mental note not to get on this woman’s bad side. That tongue could cut like a knife. When it wasn’t licking up his—
    “Jesus, Jenna,” Mikey’s voice had dropped to a level he probably thought Andy couldn’t hear. Too bad for Mike, Andy had great hearing. “I’ve got a freakin’ fairy trapped in my trunk. You gotta come see.”
    It was Andy’s turn to roll his eyes.
    Well, hell. That probably explained the mystery of what’d happened to Fry last night.
    How the fuck did the guy get himself into these situations? This wasn’t the first time Andy would have to pull his ass out of the fire. Or, in this case, Mikey’s trunk.
    But how did he do it without Jenna seeing Fry?
    Or maybe…it’d be a good way to gauge Jenna’s reaction to the Fringe. Of course, if she turned out to be just like her brother, he’d never be able to see her again. And if she told anyone she’d slept with a Yeti, well, she’d lose any credibility she’d ever had.
    Which would be a shitty thing to do to the woman he had a freaking hard-on for right now.
    So what the fuck did he do? He couldn’t leave Fry in the back of the little twerp’s car, though it would serve Fry right if he did, at least for a little while.
    “Now, Mike, really. I know you probably think you have a fairy in your trunk but maybe it’s simply a bat or a—”
    “Bat’s aren’t almost six feet tall with blue wings.”
    Yep, definitely Fry.
    “Oh my god.” Jenna’s expression made Andy wince and Mike practically folded in on himself. “Do you mean to tell me you have an actual person trapped in the trunk of your car?”
    “He’s not a person, he’s a fairy.”
    “Oh, for—Mike! You’re going to get arrested for a hate crime!”
    Andy couldn’t help himself. He started to laugh even as Mike began to wave his hands in the air as if he were guiding a fighter jet onto the deck of a
