Bluegrass Undercover (Bluegrass Brothers)

well find out who else is in town.” She tried to remember the guy’s name Lily introduced her too. “Ahmed, that’s it.” She typed in his name and gasped at the data that came back.
    No wonder the name sounded familiar. He was famous for his interrogations. No one knew how he operated, but he had led the security teams that kept the Rahmen family safe and the country of Rahmi free of terrorist activity for the last ten years.
    She searched Cade’s brothers’ names and couldn’t stop the giggle that escaped. She couldn’t decide whether to be angry or embarrassed at herself for thinking she was the only one who knew danger and the seriousness of law enforcement, so she just laughed. What else could she do when she was actually surrounded by military heroes?
    Annie pushed back her chair on the old hardwood floor and walked over to the front window. What must he be thinking of her? More importantly, how was she going to face him again? She had insulted him and he’d never said anything. Not too many men with his resume, or without for that matter, would let a woman take a bite out of their pride like that.
    “Well done, Cade Davies. Or should I say Captain Davies.” He was definitely different from all the other men she knew. Maybe he wasn’t as bad as she first thought.

Chapter Six
     
    Cade placed the royal blue KHS hat on his head and took a deep breath. He hated television interviews, especially because he knew they would ask him about the dismissal of three of his players and the horrible loss they suffered last week during the scrimmage against a far inferior team. It had been a rough couple of weeks.
    “Hiya, Coach.”
    “Hi, Steph. What’s up?” he asked his fellow science teacher.
    Stephanie Long taught chemistry. She was nice and loved to flirt with him, pretty even. She was petite, only about five two and had beautiful blonde hair that she kept in a French twist during school days. She always wore a pencil skirt and heels when teaching. After school, however, she wore her long hair down and switched out her tight skirts for tight jeans. She was every male student’s teacher crush, and he could see why when looking at her. But, for some reason he just never felt any chemistry with her. So, he was polite but distant to make sure she didn’t get the wrong idea.
    “I just wanted to wish you luck for your first game. I know it’s hard being the new guy, especially after losing three of your best players. What happened to them?”
    “Sorry, Steph, I can’t get into it. It was just a violation of team rules and was handled internally. But, thank you for wishing me luck – I’ll need it.” He looked nervously over the local news crew and tried to keep his stomach calm.
    “You’ll do fine during your interview. You’re so handsome and nice that the camera will love you. Just pretend you’re talking to me.” She gave him a little wink and he couldn’t help but laugh a little.
    “Thanks. I do feel better. I guess I’ll go get this interview over with. See you on Monday.” Cade smiled and walked away from the small field house to the camera crew setting up along the sidelines where his players were warming up on the field.
    “Coach Davies. Could we have a few minutes?” the sports reporter asked. He looked just like any other sports reporter: middle aged, small gut, big hair and a really weird colored tie.
    “Sure.” Cade stopped next to him and waited until the camera was recording.
    “How do you think you’ll do tonight against Oakdale High School?”
    “I think it will be a tough game. They are returning twelve senior starters compared to our three senior starters. They have a lot of experience.”
    “It has been reported that All-State linebacker Corey Bonner, offensive lineman Lee Faust, and senior wide receiver Dan Likens have all been dismissed from the team. Can you tell us why and how you will make up for their loss?”
    “They violated team rules. We cannot make up for the hole left by their dismissal. They were wonderful players and have now been replaced by less experienced players. Our freshman wide receiver, Ryan Hall, has stepped up in practice and is showing a lot of promise. Running back Trey Everett is the heart and soul of this team and will provide the leadership we lost with Bonner’s departure. We’ve taken some of the defensive players and converted them to offensive linemen. They have a lot to learn, but again, are showing great promise after only
