Removing the couch legs went smoothly.

Everything after that did not.

“Right! More to the right!”

“Right from whose perspective?!”

“Mine!”

“That does not help!”

Jax and Riley were holding the front end of the couch while Tasha and Elliot supported the back. Benji stood farther down the stairs, trying to direct the angle.

“Back up! Now rotate it forty-five degrees!”

“Forty-five degrees relative to what?!”

“The wall!”

“There

  • Catch Me, Maybe   Chapter 160: Repairs Accepted Here Today

    An hour later, there was even a small table set up outside the apartment building.Riley had no idea who had brought it.On top were a toaster, a fan, an old desk clock, and a flashlight that refused to work even with fresh batteries.Benji sat in a chair behind the table looking very much like the owner of a repair shop.“When did this become a business?” Tasha asked as she set down the sodas she had bought.“It’s not a business.”“Then what is this line?”“People waiting.”“That’s a business.”Jax had somehow found a piece of cardboard and was writing on it with a thick marker.Riley leaned over to look.BENJI REPAIR“Stop that.”“A shop needs a sign.”“It’s not a shop.”“Should I make a price list too?”Benji looked up.“I’m not charging anyone.”“Why not? This is a business opportunity.”“I don’t even know if I can fix everything.”

  • Catch Me, Maybe   Chapter 159: Benji Can Fix Things

    On Saturday afternoon, Riley found Benji crouched on the ground outside her old apartment building.There was a toolbox at his feet.An old portable radio sat beside it.And across from him, Mrs. Diaz—who had lived in the building for years—was sitting in a chair she had brought outside.“What are you doing?” Riley asked as she walked over.Benji looked up from the radio.“Fixing it.”“I can see that. Why?”“Mrs. Diaz asked me.”“I was going to throw it out,” Mrs. Diaz said with a smile. “But this boy told me to let him look at it first.”The radio was old. The plastic casing, which had probably once been white, had yellowed with age, and two faded star stickers were still stuck to the side.“You were still using this?”“It’s perfect for listening to the news in the kitchen in the morning. I must’ve had it for twenty years.”“Twenty years?”Benji sounded delighted.“That’s why it

  • Catch Me, Maybe   Chapter 158: Today, It’s Dana’s Job

    Marcus had the day off.Riley’s security detail, naturally, did not.Two doors down from the diner, Dana sat by the window of a café with a cup of coffee in front of her.An open magazine lay on the table.Her phone rested beside it.To anyone looking, she appeared to be a woman spending a quiet afternoon alone.In reality, her eyes occasionally moved toward the window.Across the street, Riley and Tasha were sitting inside the diner.And at the counter was Marcus.On his day off.Dana took another sip of coffee.“...Why is he there?”Of course, Marcus was free to spend his day off wherever he wanted.The problem was that he had chosen to spend it in the exact place where Riley happened to be, which made things slightly more complicated from a security perspective.Her phone buzzed.Marcus: No issues.Dana stared at the message.After a few sec

  • Catch Me, Maybe   Chapter 157: Marcus Gets Days Off Too

    On Sunday afternoon, Riley was at the diner with Tasha.She wasn’t working that day.They had just stopped by in the middle of shopping and were sitting by the window, picking at a basket of fries.“Benji says he wants to go back to Grant’s office,” Riley said.Tasha took her mouth off the straw in her iced tea.“You cannot let him do that.”“Grant said he could come back when he wasn’t working.”“Then Grant is part of the problem.”“I think he actually had fun talking to Benji.”“He should’ve stopped after the first five minutes.”“It turned into forty.”“Next time it’ll be two hours.”“Probably.”They were both laughing when the bell over the front door rang.Riley looked over without thinking.Then froze.“...What?”Tasha turned too.A very large man stood near the entrance.Tall.Broad-shouldered.Extremely familiar.Except he

  • Catch Me, Maybe   Chapter 156: Five Minutes Does Not End in Five Minutes

    It did not end in five minutes.Twenty minutes later, Riley and the others peeked back into Grant’s office.Benji was still exactly where they had left him.The only difference was that he had borrowed a chair.“He moved in,” Riley said.Benji turned.“We’re at a good part.”“What happened to five minutes?”“It passed.”“I know.”Riley looked at Grant.“You were supposed to stop him.”“I tried.”“You tried?”“I finished the explanation. Then he asked another question.”“That’s why you’re not supposed to answer!”“I started finding it interesting too.”“You too?!”Tasha laughed from where she was leaning against the doorframe.The large display showed sales, inventory, shipping, reservations, operating status, and other figures that varied from company to company.Benji pointed at it.“But every company uses a different system, right?”

  • Catch Me, Maybe   Chapter 155: Do Not Let Benji Into the Office

    On Saturday afternoon, Riley was sitting in the Whitmore mansion living room, looking at her phone.Jax, Tasha, and Benji had come over that day.Not that they had any particular plans. Jax was sprawled across the couch watching TV, Tasha was flipping through a magazine, and Riley was sitting beside her answering messages.The problem was Benji.“Where’s Benji?”Riley looked up.Without taking his eyes off the television, Jax answered, “He was here a minute ago.”“That does not answer the question.”“Went to get water, maybe?”Tasha closed her magazine.“Ten minutes ago?”The three of them went quiet.Riley stood.“We should find him.”“How do you lose Benji in this house?”Jax finally sat up.“Because it’s huge?”“This feels like losing a kid at the zoo.”“Close enough.”“He’s gonna be offended if he hears you.”“First we have to find him.”
