     Randy was busy taking pictures,   
“for the DA,” he told me, but his eyes 
really lit up when we got to the bun-  
nies. He saw how happy they were, and  
best of all, how much his girls loved  
them.                                  
     Randy insisted on cooking the ham-
burgers with what he called, “Wendy's  
secret barbeque sauce, or as I like to 
call it, Wendy's Secret BS.”           
     Everybody laughed, even Wendy and 
the two girls.                         
     The burgers were freakin' out of  
this world.                            
     Let me put it this way, Beth had  
three, and I had four.                 
     Were we just being polite? Beth   
might be, but I know I wasn't.         
     Beth said it best as we were      
cleaning up after dinner, “You can call
them BS if you want Randy, but those   
were the real deal Wendy. I could eat  
that BS for a year, and never get tired
of it.”                                
     Well, I don't know about that year
thing, but they were fucking good.     
     “I could go two years,” I lied.   
     After we finished cleaning up,    
Wendy and the girls went back out to   
play with the bunnies. Beth went along 
to show them where everything was, and 
then promised to come right back.      
     Randy and I sat at the kitchen    
table talking aimlessly for a few      
minutes, and then we got down to       
business.                              
     “Let’s make this an informal-     
formal kind of thing, ok? Just call me 
every once in a while, at least once a 
week. Let me know what's going on, and 
even stop in and say hi if you want,   
but if anything important comes up,    
make sure you give me a call as soon as
you can.                               
     “Now, how’s that sound?”          
     “I can do that,” I said, and then 
remembered, “I can't thank you enough  
for your help Monday, but God damn it  
Randy! I'm still pissed off at you,    
man, and what in hell did you mean that
you were the one taking chances? What  
the hell!”                             
     “I knew he'd survive,” Beth said  
to Randy, as she joined us again.      
     “I've never seen it before. I've  
heard of it, but never seen it,” Randy 
told Beth, ignoring me, “until I met   
you guys. I don't know, there's some-  
thing that animals get and they, they  
trust you both, especially you,” he    
said, still talking to Beth.           
     “But, he shouldn't have it at all,
especially after what he did,” Beth    
said, like I wasn't there either. “If I
hadn't been in love with him when he   
first told me, and saw what he was     
trying to do here, I really seriously  
thought about shooting him, but you    
want to know what's really weird?”
