CHAPTER 17

Thursday evening, Madisyn just wanted some alone time. With Mike playing chauffeur she didn’t have the option of solitude on the drive to and from work. Usually, she’d spend Thursday evenings reading or preparing for her Sunday school class, but instead she was waiting for the changing of the guard.

Mike sat on the couch as Madisyn prepared for Aidan’s visit. Supposedly, they were going to go over the budget for Mature Alliance and discuss plans for the grand opening. She didn’t even have luxury of going shopping for dinner. Aidan had promised to pick something up for them. She sighed, just wishing this whole mess with Darnell was already over. Madisyn wanted her life back.

“Maddie, I know this is getting to you, but it’s all for your own good. But I do like spending this time with you.”

She hated to admit it, but she liked spending time with him, too. “I only wish it wasn’t a have-to situation. I just wish this was over.”

“Me too, baby girl. I checked with Rasheeda and Meg is fine. She’s playing in her room. And yes, the mike is on where she can hear Meg.” He glanced at his watch. “What time is Aidan coming over?”

“About seven. You know you can go home if you need to,” Madisyn hinted. Maybe she could have an hour of private time.

Mike laughed. “Girl, you know I’m not leaving until I see Aidan in the house.”

“Yeah, I know. You want something to drink?”

“I’d love a beer, but I know you don’t have any. I guess we can go to the store tomorrow after you get off work.”

Madisyn laughed at her brother. “You try to make it sound like such a grand gesture. We both know I have the charity meeting tomorrow night, so I can’t go shopping. Maybe we can do it Saturday after Aidan’s cooking lesson?”

He knew he was backed into a corner and there was no way out. “All right. I’ll pick you up about two.”

“Deal.”

Aidan pulled up in front of Madisyn’s house with a few minutes to spare. Thank God, Chase was efficient. The ghost was already in place. Aidan had listened carefully as Chase rattled off instructions.

“Don’t worry about anything. No one will ever know the ghost is in place. I’ve already gotten a report. The kid is fine and watching TV in her room. I can’t believe they let her watch television. At least it was something educational.”

“Man, let it go. This is not about what she’s watching as long as she’s safe. Maybe this is her unwinding time.”

“She’s three years old,” Chase said. “I see where your loyalty is now.”

Aidan laughed. “You’re wrong. I just don’t want to see anything happen to that little girl. How will I know the ghost is doing his job?”

“You won’t.” Chase sighed. “I know you’re going to keep on until I tell you something about the company I’m using, so here goes. The leader of the team is a female and is the best at what she does.
