Chapter 8

My alarm woke me at seven o'clock, and I got up and took a shower. After I got dressed, I made myself a sandwich and ate it. I wasn’t sure whether Jenna planned to feed me or not. Even if she did feed me, given her obvious focus on health, she might want to give me some kind of tofu concoction. That stuff gags me.

Finally, I locked up my house, got in my car, and headed for the health club. I arrived just before eight o’clock and went inside. The receptionist wasn’t behind the desk, but the door to Jenna’s office was slightly ajar. Out in the area where the exercise machines were, some people, most of them women in excellent shape, as far as I could see, were still working out on the machines. Other club members, both male and female, were heading for the locker rooms.

I walked over and knocked on Jenna’s door.

“Come in,” she said. She smiled when I pushed the door open and entered her office. “You’re right on time,” she commented.

“I always give my clients what they pay for,” I said.
