even get to choose; that’s all on the producers. That Lewin Lady went through the website and emailed her complaint and information to the show. They started to pass it up until they saw that the complaint was against a psychic chef. They decided it should be a hoot. They were on the money with this one.”
    “ So none of today was staged?”
    “ Hell no, that’s why I enjoyed it,” Marco laughed. “You two were smoking hot. It set my handheld monitor to sizzling. Boy, I can’t wait to do the edits. You have to see some of the facial expressions you were making! Priceless! I--”
    “ Marco ! Didn't you say you had something to do? Get out of my office. I have things to take care of before I knock off.”
    “ Is taking care of Etta on that list, Bro?” Marco snickered. “I'm serious. If you haven't considered how you're going to make her serve her thirty days, invite her to cook for us at Bent Arrow. Nan and I will graciously help out in the kitchen as usual, but you know our skills are limited and we have a full house this year.”
    “ Why can’t you let this go?” Keigo shook his head, his broad brow creased in a frown. “Are you sure you don’t won’t Miss Jones to join us so you can make a move on her?”
    Marco got a mischievous gleam in his eyes before adding, “Would it bother you if I did?”
    “ Marco, get out,” Keigo practically growled out the words. His hand massaged his stomach.
    “ Okay, I will see you up at Bent Arrow, Bro. You sure you don’t want me to swing by and pick you up?”
    “ I’m sure. Once I find the cook, I will see if they can drive the terrain vehicle and if not, then I will just hire us a driver.”
    Marco’s animated face grew somber. “You know, Keigo. It’s going on four years. If you won’t even try, you’re never going to overcome your fears.”
    “ Save this discussion for another day, Marco. I’m just not up to discussing it now, okay?”
    “ Deal; if you invite Etta to Bent Arrow, I will never speak on it again,” Marco challenged. A grin stole back to his lips.
    “ Out, damn it and let me work in peace!”
    “ All right, Bro. I’ll ease up on ya,” Marco smirked and shook his head. “I’ll call you later.”
    “ Please, don’t; at least not this evening.” Keigo stifled a yawn. “I just want to go home, take something for my stomach and sleep for the next twenty-four hours.”
    “ Tomorrow then. Have a goodnight and think over all I’ve said. Etta will fit in perfectly and I think the kids will love her.”
    Keigo glared at Marco until he conceded by throwing up his hands and backing out of the room with a snicker.
    Invite Etta to Bent Arrow? What was Marco thinking? He barely agreed to her silly offer in the first place, now his best friend wanted him to welcome her into his personal space. Still, he was a man of his word. They agreed on thirty days of her services. He wasn’t sure what that entailed, but Marco was right. He was going to be in the mountains for a month and he needed to find a chef for the camp kitchen. He wouldn’t be able to open the camp until he met all the requirements before the students arrived.
    With a soft curse, Keigo picked up the telephone and dialed security. “Hey Phil, Judge Kyou here. You can bring Miss Jones to my chambers now. Make sure she brings along all her personal stuff. Has she quieted down some? Really?” Keigo released a heavy sigh. “She’s probably saving her energy for round two with me.”
    He rolled his eyes heavenward as he listened to Phil sing her praises, his booming voice heavy with humor. It seemed Etta had managed to gain yet another fan in him. “You don’t have to stay. Go home and get to bed early, you have that drive tomorrow. Just show her the way and tell her to let herself in.”
    “ Thank you, Phil. I don’t know how we would do the show without you. I will see you at Bent Arrow. No, I can’t get away right now. I still have some issues to deal with before we can open
