Chapter 41
The Lobo-Rojo Family
The next morning, Michael arrived at work at his normal time of 0230. As he rounded the corner
of the hallway to his office, he noticed a red wolf leaning on the wall next to his office door.
Michael smiled as he recognized Raul and called to him. “Good morning, Raul. Is everything all
right with you today?”
In his mild Mexicat accent, Raul said, “Yes, Michael. I am doing quite well. Consuelo and I have
been so happy since you brought us back together that we can hardly stand it. Even though she
might possibly be pregnant, she has wanted sexual relations almost every night since then.”
Michael was smiling at that thought as he arrived at his office door and unlocked it. He opened
the door and ushered Raul inside. Still smiling, he said, “I’m very happy for you and Consuelo,
Raul. Oh! And if what I remember reading back when I was growing up is true, this early in the
pregnancy, sexual relations won’t bother the baby, uh, pup.
“Aren’t you a little early arriving at work? I thought you didn’t have to be here until 0300.”
“Nor do you, Michael. Actually, I arrived early today because I wanted to invite you and
Amanda to my mother’s house for dinner Friday evening. Well, my mother wishes to invite
you.”
