Murphy was indeed at the PI office, drinking coffee as she scowled over some reports. She just happened to be on the porch. Nothing and no one was going to make her stay indoors on a gorgeous autumn day like today.

Honey saw her and wagged. Riddick saw her and smiled, warm and with his whole face. Same instinctual response.

She made her way down the porch steps. "I know you're not starving," she mock-scolded Honey, petting him. "But I wish I had a treat for you."
