Chapter 73

“Well, I’d better get unloading. You have the wreath?” asked Buddy. Despite claiming Buddy Angus had given the all-clear, he seemed wary.

“I’ll bring it out. I made it myself over the weekend and can guarantee it hasn’t been tampered with. No explosives this year.”

Buddy nodded grimly, and Kiko left before he started reminiscing about Buddy Angus.

Back inside Yolks on You, someone, maybe Dom, had prepped Buddy’s pickled egg and chilled glass of beer behind the counter. This year’s brew was Green Eggs and Hops. Personally Kiko felt it would do better for a St. Patrick’s Day celebration, but Buddy had made a big deal about how Martha had tracked down woodruff for it and Kiko wasn’t about to get in the middle of that.
