Chapter 185: Be Careful

“Come on, partner, I want to know.” Alex and Judd were in the back of their rescue truck refilling supplies in their down time.

“Want to know what?” Judd studiously feigned interest in a drawer of cotton dressings.

“Who did you have to call so badly that you had to leave the lovely Amanda all by her lonesome?”

Judd huffed slightly as he slid the drawer closed and looked back to Alex. “She wasn’t all by her lonesome, she was with you and Trish. Jessi texted me, so I called just to make sure she was okay.”

Alex frowned slightly. “Jessi?” Understanding lit his face and he smiled. “That hot redhead from the birthday party?”

“Jessi. The event planner from the party.”

“So, what’s the deal with the redhead?”

“There’s no deal. We’re friends, that’s all.”

Alex laughed. “The smile on your face last night said ‘more than friends,’ homie. Besides, she’s smoking. No wonder you weren’t feeling it for Amanda. You should have told me.”
