Final Call (20 page)

Mike floated across the room. “Well done,” he said. “You
looked like you enjoyed it.”

“Well, I have to admit, I felt a wee bit of sympathy for the
man,” he said. “These lassies can tie you up something fierce. But he’s a
lesson to be learned and if it comes too easy, it’s too easily forgotten.”

“Are you going to tell Mary he was here?”

Ian looked at Mike and they both grinned. “Who was here?”

“I’m going to like working with you, Professor,” Mike said,
as he faded away.
“Pleasant dreams.”

Ian peeked out the window and watched Bradley’s car pull
away from the curb just as Mary came down the stairs.

“Your room’s ready,” she said. “I’m sorry I wasn’t prepared
for you. I suppose I misunderstood Sean.”

Ian smiled at her. “Isn’t that odd,” he said. “Because I
feel I understood Sean just perfectly.”
