soon. But how was he going to explain to her why he was naked in her back yard and bleeding? He guessed he had no choice but to tell her the truth. Maybe she’d let it slide until he wasn’t bleeding in her yard, but he had a feeling she was going to want answers sooner rather than later.
                  “Mike!” he heard her yell. He breathed a sigh of relief at hearing her voice. The hard part was over, or he hoped it was. Now he just needed to convince her to not call an ambulance and get her to call Bill. That was not going to be an easy task.

                  Lucy stood at her computer, trying to find the number for Animal Control. Why the hell was it taking so long to find one number? She didn’t want the animal to suffer. She couldn’t stand seeing anything or anyone in pain. She also didn’t want it to attack her out of desperation or fear or something.
                  “Ha ha!” she cheered when she found the number. Grabbing her cell phone, ready to dial the number, she looked outside again, wanting to make sure the thing hadn’t come to her door or ambled off. It wasn’t there. Maybe it wasn’t as hurt as she’d originally thought? Maybe it was just playing dead or something.
                  Shrugging her shoulders, she put the phone down, keeping the number handy just in case, and went back to her work. Looking up, she saw movement out of the corner of her eye. Something was there. Picking up her phone to call Animal Control, she saw a human in her yard. A naked man. Carrying her phone, she moved to her patio door. She wanted to be ready to call the police if needed. There shouldn’t be any naked people in her back yard. Well, there really shouldn’t be any people in her back yard.
                  Lucy slipped on her flip flops again and stepped outside. Maybe it was a – what do you call them? – naturalist or nudist or whatever. In this day and age, you never knew what you’d find. She wanted a better view of the man, and also wanted to know why he was lying down in her yard. Very slowly she made it to the edge of the patio. For some reason he wasn’t moving, but he was breathing. Now that she thought about it, he was around where the bear had been. Maybe the mama bear got him? She hoped not. She’d heard a lot of bad things about bear attacks – the victims seldom lived. Worried about him, she ran over to him, needing to know whether or not to call an ambulance. Lucy gasped as she got closer and saw who it was.

                  “Mike!” Lucy yelled as she squatted down in front of him. She saw all the blood and looked for the wounds, expecting deep gouges, but all she could find was a hole in his stomach. It looked like he’d been shot. How in the world did he get shot and end up naked in her back yard?
                  “No ambulance,” he said weakly.
                  “Mike, we have to get you to the hospital. They have to get the bullet out,” she said, reaching for his side. He moaned when she put pressure on the wound. She felt bad for causing him more pain, but she couldn’t let him bleed out.
                  “Call Bill. He’ll know what to do,” he grated out between clenched teeth.
                  “No, I need to call an ambulance. You need medical attention!”
                  “Call Bill,” he said again.
                  “Okay, but then I’m calling an ambulance,” she said, picking up her cell phone and dialing information. Of all the arguments she thought she might have in her life, this was never one she thought she’d have. Why wouldn’t he want medical attention? Why does he just want his boss?
                  “Information,” a bored sounding man answered.
                  “I need the number for Bill’s Bar in Lilly Town, Delaware,” she
