“I’ll get the permits,” Badger said, “for travel. I don’t want you to go up against a cartel or some such thing without firepower.”
“The dog hasn’t been there all that long,” Cade said. “You might get it on your side and turn it against its owners.”
“You know what the answer is for that then,” Harley said. “They’ll just end up shooting it.”
“In that case, why don’t you just shoot the gunman,” Cade said in a rough voice. “We’ve seen so many evil assholes in this world,” he said. “I get pissed off when somebody like that hurts an animal. Hell, when anybody hurts an animal.”
“I hear you.” Harley nodded, headed for the door, and said, “I’ll check it out and let you know what I find.” He stopped and looked back and asked, “Did you guys know that I spent ten years in Montana?”
The men looked at him in surprise.
Harley smiled and said, “I guess not.”
“When were you there?” Badger asked.
“I was a foster kid,” he said. “I left because I was getting too attached to the family. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I turned eighteen and joined the navy,” he said. “And my history since then, you all well know.”
“What do you mean, too attached?” Badger asked curiously.
He nodded. “The foster family was okay,” he said, “but their daughter was dynamite.” And, with a wicked grin, he turned and headed out.
Badger called back, “Have you kept in touch with them?”
“No,” he said. “So I guess I will now though.”
“What’s her name?” Geir asked.
“Jasmine,” he said. “And she was the sweetest little thing. Although I couldn’t say that to her face.” He laughed, stepped across the threshold, then stuck his face back into the doorway. “She is just as likely to shoot me on sight right now.”
“Why’s that?” Badger frowned at him. “Maybe we shouldn’t send you.”
“It’s all good,” he said. “She wanted me to stay, and I didn’t dare.”
“Why?” Cade asked.
“Her family. I wasn’t good enough,” he said. “Believe me. I won’t be good enough now either.”
“Maybe they’ve changed,” Eric said with a one-arm shrug.
“Maybe,” he said, “but I haven’t.”
This concludes Book 13 of The K9 Files: Tucker.
