I returned the Bumble’s parting shot about the cargo hold with a broad smile and wink. Here I thought the boys runnin’ his campaign were incompetent. Obviously dealing this candidate and his particular challenges was out of their league. It’s good thing I made the trip up here.
Coming as a pleasant surprise to me, Miss Rose suggested we return to my place. The look in her eyes as she spoke caused a vibration in my pants. Looking on her, I got lost in her eyes just for a moment.
“Is that your phone?” She asked.
“Oh, yeah, sorry dear this won’t take but a second.” I fished my vibrating cell phone from my pocket and engaged it as I laid it to my ear.
“Yeah?” I spoke into the phone, “What? . . . Really? . . . No, no I want to hold on to that, use it only if we need to. . . Yeah, it’s good stuff, but not now. . . . The old boy barely can put three words together in a complete sentence, I don’t want to make him as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rockin’ chairs, till we’re ready. . . . No, no I got a plan. . . . Yeah, listen don’t call me fer a few hours. . . . Right.”
I turned off the phone and placed back in my pocket. Looking down to my lovely companion, I was just getting ready to ask about her affiliation with Bumble when the elevator screeched to an abrupt stop. The lights blinked a couple times and flashed off. Somewhere in the distance an alarm began to scream out. Buffered by the wood paneled walls of the elevator the tone sounded miles away.
“Well, this makes for an interesting elevator ride.” I joked. “It’s about as dark as a yard down a bear’s throat in here. Not that I’m complaining.”
Sincerity pulled a lighter from her purse and flicked the small flame to life. Her face bathed in the warm glow of the flame looked irresistible to me.
