the phone buzzed . nina swung her leg down , sighed , and oicked up her phone . sandy must have come in her desk was only ten feet aawy , through the closed door , but sandy didn't like getting up .
"he 's here , and so's she , your eight o'clocks ," sandy said .
"and a fine morning it is ."
"humph . you have half an hour ."
the man stood with his back to her , hands in his pockets , looking at once of sandy 's decorations , a washoe indian baskets on the shelf .he wore a green and black plaid lumberjack shirt tucked into a well broken in pair of jeans . the belt , a leathercraft affair , must have dated from the sixties . work boots , a body used to physical work .
a convervative local , nina thought , pegging him almost before he turned around . nice wrinkled tan face . grim expression , planty of gray brown hair on both head and chin . a belly , that was a surprise .
behind him , pretty chelsi nodded . she was tller than her uncle . she wore her hair down today and it fell straight and satiny . something had turned off the smile .
"hi , i'm nina reilly ," nina said , looking the man in the eye . holding out her hand.
"david hanna ."
"oplease come in ." after ushering chelsi in , too . niona glanced to ward sandy , who , resplendent this morning in a heavy turquoise necklace and a denim jumper , seemed to be writting something in the appointment book . sandy gave nina a swift look back , one eyebrow cocked .
look out .
now , that was an interesting take , since uncle davelooked harmless , but sandy's first impression had to be taken serious .
