Waist Deep

I stood shivering next to the fence.I desperately wanted to unlatch the gate and break up the little love-fest in the hot tub.Even though the sight of Yvette’s naked body looked like she was a grown woman, it was equally clear from their conversation she was under age. And probably a student.If I was right, I had LeMond by the balls.Whether that would help me find Kris or not was another matter.

On the other hand, if she wasn’t a student or if I was wrong and she actually was eighteen and I went barging into his back yard, he could call the cops and have me arrested for burglary.And there’d be nothing to stop him from doing so.I could end up in the county jail, where I’m sure there’d be more than a few people from both sides of the fence who would remember me from my days on the job.That could get unpleasant.

I should just get into my car and go.Then I’d keep this trump card in my hand and figure out just exactly how to play it to my greatest advantage.

That’s what I should do.

That would be the smart play.

What I did was swing the gate open and march into Gary LeMond’s back yard.
