The Maltese Terror

Caleb shook his head. Don’t look like my star boarder will be able to move on today. Not unless it clears faster than it looks like it will right now. Too bad. I expect he won’t be happy. Businessman, probably has urgent meetings and stuff. Can’t say I envy him. Whatever else I have to deal with, at least I don’t have to answer to a bunch of bosses up the line.


With practiced efficiency, he went about the early morning chores, tossing hay to the horses and the sheep, dumping some kibble out for the dogs housed in the barn. He checked the water and found it was okay. Later he’d have to get out the snowmobile and make the rounds of the pastures to see how the cattle fared. For now, it was time to go get breakfast. See if Nick LeGrande is awake yet, too.


He was. As Caleb stamped into the kitchen and stripped off his outdoor wear, he saw his guest sitting at the big table, nursing a mug of coffee held with both hands. Nick turned at the sound of Caleb’s entrance, then shook his head.
