Where There's a Will (32 page)
This time Cliff read the card he plucked from his wallet. “Yes, this is who you need to talk to, Sandy Singh. She’s truly a wonderful person. The Heart is lucky to have her.”
“I don’t know what I could do, but yeah, I can call.” He looked up when Cliff snorted and jerked his wrist. “What? I’m not a veterinarian. I don’t have those kind of degrees.”
“You don’t know what you could do?” Cliff let go of him and waved at his car. “How about teach some of those kids a skill they could use to support themselves? There are boys and girls there who’ve been kicked out of their homes, and their future, although we’re trying to help them, is very shaky.”
“We?” Isaiah couldn’t help but ask. It was easier to focus on that than think of trying to teach a class of kids, although maybe it wouldn’t be so bad. Wasn’t like he’d be standing up front in a real class room.
“Yes, we,” Cliff clarified, tipping his chin up as if daring Isaiah to say something about it. Why would he, though? “Quincy and I both volunteered there for the past seven years.
When Quincy passed, I used his life insurance to help them re-open. I still volunteer there as often as possible. It…helps.”
“I’m sure it does, you and the kids, too,” Isaiah murmured, humbled once again by Cliff and his kindness. And Quincy’s. Isaiah really wished he’d have gotten to meet him before www.total-e-bound.com
he’d died, even if it would have hurt when he passed. As Cliff had said, it’d have been worth it, he thought. “Okay, I’ll make sure to talk to Sandy Singh next week.”
Cliff’s smile was one Isaiah couldn’t read this time, and his shifter senses weren’t any help, either, damn it. “Yes, you be sure and do that.” He jangled the keys. “I don’t suppose you’d like to go for a ride with an old man?”
Isaiah had the feeling Cliff was up to something. Nothing bad, but the guy was definitely gloating.
Well no wonder, The Heart is his baby, it sounds like. He’s just glad to rope in another
volunteer. And maybe I can help some kids, like he said.
“All right, Cliff,” Isaiah said as he winked at the old man again, “let’s go and you can show me whatcha got.” He didn’t worry Cliff would take it wrong. The man wasn’t a slut and he loved his deceased partner.
“More like you’re going to show me what you did to my baby,” Cliff retorted, tossing the keys. “This really is a young man’s car at heart.”
Isaiah disagreed, but he wasn’t going to argue. He caught the keys and hollered at his helper, Dorso, to keep an eye on the place, then he took the sweet man and the sweet Camaro out for a ride.

About the Author

Doesn’t happen much. Writing is too much fun, and there are too many characters bouncing about, tapping on Bailey’s brain, demanding to be let out.
Caffeine and chocolate are permanent fixtures in Bailey’s office and are never far from hand at any given time. Removing either of those necessities from Bailey’s presence can result in what is known as A Very, Very Scary Bailey and is not advised under any circumstances.
