Food Truck Hero ~ A Love in the City Romance by Dellani Oakes Part 43
“How was work?” I asked quietly. “I have to go back in the office tomorrow. We’ve been through everything with X-ray, dogs, the works. Nothing out of the ordinary.” “Have you figured out what’s being sent out?” “We think it’s drugs, but can’t be sure. If that’s the case, the one day we randomly decided…

Walking across to the bank, I got the sinking suspicion I was being watched. It was incredibly eerie, and I didn’t like it. Speeding up, I dashed to the bank door, swooping inside like hell was snapping at my heels. The tellers looked up, smiling and waving. One took me right away, as there wasn’t…

“I haven’t heard.” But I decided I had the right to know. Taking the bull by the horns, as it were, I called Captain Monroe’s office. “The Captain is busy right now,” her assistant said. “But I promise I’ll give her the message. She’ll get back to you at her earliest opportunity.” “Thank you. Much…

CONTENT WARNING Jake trotted over, giving me a hug. “Thank you, my friend.” I leaned close, mumbling. “Take good care of my sister.” “Yeah, I don’t want you coming after me.” He winked and got in the car. It was strange going back in the house. It was so quiet. Usually, I have music playing…

“We’re ordering out tonight,” Randy said. There was a knock on the door. Hopping up, I saw my neighbor Lou. He had a massive metal tray in his hands. Carrying it carefully, with oven mitts, he grinned and walked in. Behind him were Bolton, Cleotho, their wives and girlfriends. “We aren’t staying,” Lou said, setting…

“I don’t know yet. No one has contacted us. Have they you?” “No. Would you…. Could….” He gulped. “You want me to make the arrangements?” His eyes begged me. How could I say no? “Of course. We’ll have to have the funeral before you get out of here. But you and I will plan a…

“The Royal Doyle Treatment,” Mom declared when it was done. “Who’s hungry?” I asked, hopping inside. “We just cleaned, and you’re going to mess it up?” Maria screeched. “No. I just need a couple of my spices. Let’s close her up and put her back in the garage.” “You always call it her?” Chica asked.…

“You would do it for me,” he mumbled. “Yes, I would. Come in and meet my family.” Hesitantly, Jake walked into the living room with me. Rowena got up to meet him, taking his hands in hers. “Good to see you, Jake. Thank you for coming.” He gave her a faltering smile, which got stronger…

Harlan Doyle, our wayward sperm donor, cleared his throat. “Keir.” His accent made it sound odd. I didn’t look up. “I’m talking to you, son.” A tight lipped glare was all I gave him. He didn’t have the right to call me that. I had only one parent who had any business calling me son,…

“You don’t really have the right….” “It’s my house. This is my yard you’re standing on. My family is grieving. Take your shit and go.” I addressed the other reporters, who had stopped talking so their cameras could focus on me. “I don’t know why you’re here and I don’t care. Go. My sister’s dead.…
