Top Gun Guardian. Carol Ericson
called trust. There’s a lot of that in a small town. Besides, there are no strangers in White Cloud. That guy is cousins with my best friend’s ex-girlfriend.”
Raven rolled her eyes. “If you say so.”
They bumped along in the truck for a few miles before they careened into town. The streets were mostly empty at this time of morning, except for a couple of trucks parked in front of the Arapaho Café. Retired ranchers up at their customary time and looking for a little company.
And Buzz probably knew all of them.
Scratching his chin, he shot a glance at Raven and Malika. He couldn’t exactly tell the good people of White Cloud that he was hiding an African president’s daughter in their midst. The assassination attempt at the U.N. had been splashed all over the news, but Malika’s picture hadn’t been splashed anywhere. The government had suppressed any news of her attempted abduction and Raven’s role in her rescue.
He blew out a breath and squared his shoulders. The plan came to him in a flash and Raven might even laugh about it…someday.
He pulled up to the curb and pointed to the restaurant. “I hope you ladies are hungry.”
Buzz yanked his coat around his wrinkled suit and opened the door of the truck for Raven. She hopped out and scooped Malika from the seat. “Ahh, I can smell the bacon from here.”
“Bacon, eggs, biscuits and gravy. The Arapaho has it all.” Buzz pushed open the door and several pairs of eyes turned in their direction.
“Well, if it isn’t Buzz Richardson.”
“Must’ve dropped out of the sky.”
“It’s Steve’s boy.”
Raven stiffened beside him as he raised his hand in greeting. “Hey, guys. It’s good to be back.”
“Whatcha doing here, Buzz? You gonna take up residence at the ranch?”
Buzz shrugged out of his coat and hung it on the rack by the front door. “Just thought it was time to bring my wife and our new daughter home to White Cloud.”
