Chapter 27: Cole

Cole WAS SURPRISED by how quiet Monday was. It was as though the universe had used up all its ill will on Saturday and Sunday. He'd made three emergency after hours house calls, something Dr. Green vowed wasn't normal.

"Mrs. Billy?" He leaned around the corner and stopped when he saw the two male silhouettes standing at the desk.

"Dr. Odell." Mrs. Billy swiveled toward him and thumbed at the two men. "The Lively brothers are here to see you."

They didn't have pets or livestock which meant this was not a professional call. He'd been wondering when this chat might happen.

"Come around and I'll meet you in my office," Cole said.
