Chris really didn ’ t want to take time out of his busy schedule to drive down there to take a look . “ I ’ ll have Tony bring it in .” “ Another tow charge ? Can ’ t you go and look for yourself and , you know , fix the damn thing ?” He could , but after the way she ’ d just spoken to him , he decided he wouldn ’ t . “ No , I ’ m quite busy right now ,” he said as his temper flared . He was trying to help her , but it seemed that she didn ’ t believe that . She walked to the door , then turned around and asked him , “ What happened to the horn ?” He looked at her blankly with his eyebrows raised . “ What about your horn ?” Even as the words left his mouth , he knew it was a mistake to ask “ It was working fine when I got to Colstrip , but now it doesn ’ t work !” “ Probably the damn thing rusted off and is laying alongside the road ,” Chris muttered under his breath . “ What did you say ?” She looked back at him with a flash of anger in her eyes . “ Nothing .” He really didn ’ t know what the hell happened to the horn . She regarded him coolly . “ You probably took it off and never put it back on .” “ Now why would I do something like that ?” he asked her irritably . He was starting to really get angry with her , but he held himself in check . “ I don ’ t know , maybe you have a horn fetish or something .” “ I don ’ t know what happened to your horn , but if you want me to put one on I will .” “ No , that ’ s okay . I don ’ t need it .” She turned and walked out the door . He looked after her , exasperated . He shook his head as he walked back to his office for a second to cool off .
