appearances, the imposing sheriff showed emotion. He leaned over to laugh hard. When he regained himself he addressed the clerk behind the desk.
“I’d like to have surveillance footage of the areas involved. If there’s anything you or your staff would like to add, please see this deputy here,” he said, placing a hand on the shoulder of one of his deputies.
“You fellas seem to have issues wherever you go. You staying in town long? Should we just get a room next door to yours and shadow you while you’re here?” he asked.
Penny got the gist of it. Even though the sheriff seemed even handed in both situations, he was now suggesting they leave.
“We’re checking out in the morning, if that works for you,” said Danny respectfully.
“It does. But a call between now and then, I might start seeing things differently. Just part of the job,” he replied.
“Understood,” said Danny.
The enormous law man approached the injured biker. “Man, she got you good. What were you doing exactly?”
“I don’t remember,” he said through his hands, which were holding his nose.
“Okay, well, I think we need to take you over to General. Take a look at that. If I see something on that footage, if that camera remembers something you don’t, you’re going straight to lock up after that. Do I make myself clear?”
The biker shrugged.
“Until we meet again,” the sheriff said to Danny and Trenton. “Okay, let’s go look at the blown up bike,” he said to a motel staff member.
The woman at the desk was kind enough to bring Penny over an ice-cold lemon lime soda and a napkin. Danny walked the trash can into the lobby restroom and flushed it.
Danny made her look at him while he checked her eyes. “Do we need to take you over to the hospital as well? What did he do to you exactly?”
“He grabbed me,” she said. “He slapped me.”
“Wow,” said Danny. “We have a code against hitting women and kids. But nothing to the stomach or like here in the kidney area?”
“No, nothing like that,” she said.
“And then you kicked his ass?” he said.
Penny was basically waiting for the lecture so she had to do a double take when he said that. When she looked at him, his eyes were in fact scolding her, but a smile curled his lips.
“Yes,” she said very quietly.
“I am glad you’re okay. I am sorry this has happened,” he said.
“Oh, why don’t you just go ahead and say it?” she said dramatically. “I should have listened to you.”
“Yeah and I guess if the guy found you anyway, which is what it looks like he was doing, I would have felt like crap if anything happened to you while you were doing what I suggested. It worked out. And you kicked his ass,” he said.
He gave her a quick kiss. She pushed him lightly.
“You can’t kiss me right now,” she said. “Not until I brush my teeth.”
“Okay,” he said and kissed her forehead. “How about there, is that better?”
“Yes,” she said softly. “For now.”
Chapter Ten
Danny and Penny were awakened by a knock on the door from Trenton. He didn’t want in. He stuck his head in just far enough for his voice to carry, so Penny heard. Brill Wayland wasn’t going to be released soon after all. Mrs. Wayland was going to cut Penny a check. She had the power to run the business in his absence. She was going to have a check drawn for Penny to cover all her losses and then some. It would just take a day to move funds around.
“Oh really?” asked Danny.
“Yeah, I am going to help her,” said Trenton.
Penny saw both men smile. Danny closed the door and crawled back into bed.
“Did you hear that baby doll?” he asked, his hands fisting around her.
Penny nodded.
“What say you and I do a little exploring on our own and then circle back around here tomorrow. Would that be okay with you?” he asked.
“Anything you want would be okay with me,” she murmured.
The weather was perfectly temperate, and perfect for a day trip.
