A Second Chance at Love novel · Chapter 7 of 12
Chapter 7: Northern Lights
I found the chief in the control room at eleven that night, doing her crossword by the light of the gauges.
I told her everything Sigrid said, word for word.
She filled in a word while I talked.
When I finished, she capped her pen.
"That all?"
"She said you'd lose your pension."
"I heard you." She looked at the crossword. "Seven letters. To give testimony."
"Chief."
"Go to bed, Mullane. Breakfast is at seven. Be there."
At seven the mess was full.
The guests were at their white tablecloth. Sigrid had pancakes she wasn't eating and Prescott was reading his phone.
The chief came in with her coffee mug and stopped right beside their table.
The cook turned the radio off.
"Miss Engstrom," the chief said. "My cadet tells me your father's lawyers want to charge me."
Sigrid looked up. Then she looked around the room and found every face watching her.
"I don't know what she told you."
"She told me you said I'd lose my pension for emailing a student the temperatures off my own engine."
