"It's probably just something I ate at Herschel's. I think his homemade chili might have upset my stomach," I replied, knowing bringing Herschel into it would make Luke take the situation more seriously.

Having been around the Wagner family for years, he knew better than to take me lightly, even if I wasn't currently in Conrad's favor.

Luke hurried out of the car, and I quickly added, "And grab me a bottle of water, will you?"
