Wanna Bet?
Page 12
Tobin enjoyed dropping this little bombshell. Jeep was a great right-hand man, but every once in a while, Tobin just liked stirring him up a bit. “On the wire you wore. You know, the one in the tiara?”
“The what?”
“Wire. Sound device. Broadcasts sound. We put it on you so that if they tried to snatch you again, we’d be able to hear what they said and maybe figure out where they were taking you,” Tobin explained.
“That’s ridiculous. If someone had kidnapped me, do you think they would have bothered making sure my tiara stayed on? And besides, we thought the danger was past. Didn’t we?” Jenny’s blush was becoming more of an angry red than an embarrassed pink.
“Yes, we did, but we didn’t think the wire was a bad precaution, just in case,” Tobin added.
“And you didn’t tell me?” This was addressed to Jeep.
“Don’t look at me. I forgot. Until the guys asked me about the clapping. Then I remembered.” Jeep didn’t often have to feel sheepish around Jenny, Tobin guessed.
Tobin felt as though he was watching a rabbit bully a Doberman. When Jenny rounded on her husband, Tobin was glad no flammable substances were in the vicinity. “The clapping?”
“I knew you would be embarrassed if you knew what they recorded, so I…”
“Recorded? There are tapes?” Jenny’s shriek was audible in the next county, Tobin was sure.
“Just one tape,” Jeep hastened to reassure her.
Tobin realized that unless he wanted to witness manslaughter, he’d better step in. “And there is one more point I want to clear up. I meant to ask, how was it that you had that gift in your carry-all, Jenny?”
It was Jeep’s turn to look shocked. No one but those present on the roof knew about the bomb or their near miss, so Tobin knew he had probably avoided discussing it with Jenny. Jenny, not knowing the significance of her mystery package, would not have thought to mention it to Jeep for fear of being embarrassed by its contents.
As it had turned out, the bomb, had it exploded on the roof, might not have brought the building down. Sniper and Mrs. Abernathy, their resident ordnance expert, had calculated that the device was placed so as to blow out one wall of the old brick structure in which it had been placed. The newer building methods and materials used in the Excelsior hotel would have withstood it without undue damage. Still, Tobin thought Jenny needed to learn how new husbands feel when they learn their wives have neglected to tell them they have been transporting bombs around in carry-alls.
“Tobin, if we’re all done here, I think I’d like to take a long lunch break with Jenny,” Jeep said.
Jenny immediately looked flustered. “We just got back. It’s not even ten o’clock. I’m not hungry. We can’t leave for lunch yet.”
