Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1515

However...

He'd noticed a long time ago that someone was watching him. If he went into the mountains to retrieve the item, it would be risky.

Tarquin thought for a moment and said, "To avoid tipping our hand, I can't go with you. Can you retrieve the item and bring it to the clinic?"

If they were going to put on a show, they had to go all the way. He was here to pick up Lowell, so to maintain appearances, he would have to take Lowell to the clinic first.

Wyatt hesitated, looking troubled. "The item is on a cliff face. The place is extremely hidden and dangerous. A person can't climb up there. An eagle carried it up. To get it down, we'll need an eagle to fly up and get it."

"But before I started 'acting' crazy, I released my eagle back into the wild. Getting it down now will take some planning."

Tarquin asked, "Can Dane's eagle do it?"

Wyatt frowned. "Dane doesn't know about this, and his eagle has never been there. I'm afraid it won't understand the command."

"That's easy," Tarquin said. "I'll arrange it."

They had Evan. This wasn't a difficult problem.

Tarquin sent Evan a message, telling him to call him back when Elysia Thorne wasn't around.

Soon, a video call from Evan came through. The little guy started right off the bat, "If you did something to wrong Mom, I'm not covering for you! We might have a deal, but Mom always comes first in my book!"

Tarquin sighed inwardly. His bond with his son clearly took a backseat whenever Elysia was involved.

"This has nothing to do with your mother. I need Dane's eagle, Jove, to help me get something. You'll need to guide him."

Evan was curious. "What is it? Important enough that you need Jove on the case!"

Tarquin said, "It's a secret for now, but it's very important to Dad. It's on a cliff face that a person can't reach. Only an eagle can retrieve it."
