Pancake Panic
Page 18
The bell chimes on the door and I glance that way, but Noah does a double take as an older man with reddish brown hair and a dimpled grin makes his way inside. He’s looking right at us and I can feel Noah growing rigid in my arms.
Everett appears next to us with his chest as wide as a wall.
Noah releases me slowly. “Lottie? I’m not dreaming, am I?”
I groan and shake my head. “As much as I’d love for this entire month to have been a bad dream, the answer is no.”
“Good.” He lunges for the older man and decks him, fist to cheek, in a powerful blow that sends the man to the ground and knocks him out cold.
“Noah!” I scream as I make my way forward, only to find blood pooling around the poor man’s head. “Oh my goodness, what have you done?”
Everett’s chest thumps. “He’s done me a favor.”
Forest makes his way over and pushes Noah aside as he falls to his knees to help the man.
Forest looks up at Noah. “What the heck did you do that for? Who is this man?” He pulls his phone out and is already dialing for help.
Noah shakes his head at the body lying motionless on the ground. “This is a dead man—at least he should’ve been. This is my father.”
