Once at work, Eden spent the first two hours searching jobsites and making a list of possible opportunities for Madison. After Madison brought up her experience with older men, Eden decided to focus on retirement and convalescent homes. Although most of the facilities wanted experienced applicants, she figured there was a chance that they would hire Madison. Especially if Eden coached her on being persistent.

Eden’s job search was more fruitful than her search for information on Nash. She found nothing else on him or his girlfriend’s suicide. Wondering if she’d missed something, she pulled up the story again and reread it. Then she pulled up the picture she’d saved of them. She was staring at Nash’s smiling face and wondering what had happened to dim the smile when Mike walked into the janitor’s closet.

“So there you are.”

She closed the file and swiveled her chair around. “Let me guess, Stella hasn’t missed me at all.”

Mike grinned. “No, but I have. Where have you been?”

“Just working on my story.”

“I overheard you telling Stella that you’ve got a new angle for the story. I’m glad you’ve moved on from the ditzy prostitute.”

“Madison isn’t ditzy,” Eden said. “She just needs some direction.”

Mike shook his head. “Great. Now you’ve become her life coach. Was she the friend that dropped by and kept you from meeting me for dinner?”

“I’m so sorry about that, Mike.”

“Sorry enough to have dinner with me tonight?”

It was her night off so there was nothing keeping her from accepting the offer. Nothing but the hope that Nash would stop by her apartment. And with no customers to wait on, she might actually get some answers. Or maybe some more refrigerator sex.

“I can’t tonight,” she said. “I need to stop by and see my grandparents.” It wasn’t a lie. After receiving the marijuana in the mail, she needed to have a little talk with her grandparents. Again.

His face fell. “Yeah, sure. Maybe another time.” He glanced at the laptop. “So if you’re doing a story on prostitution, why were you looking at a picture of Nash Beaumont? Please don’t tell me you’re crushing on the guy like every other female in the city.”

Crushing? It was more like lusting. And trying to hide her blush, she swiveled her chair back around and shrugged. “I just stumbled upon the picture.”

“That’s good, because the guy is a pervert.”

“What?” She whirl back around so fast that she kicked the mop bucket with her foot and sent it sailing toward Mike. Mike grabbed the mop handle before it hit him in the face, but the bucket still cracked his shins.

“Damn, Huckabee,” he said as he grimaced in pain. “I get that you don’t want to date me. You don’t have to use violence to make your point.”

“Sorry,” she said. “So how do you know about Nash?”

He rubbed his shins. “I planned on doing a story about the Beaumonts when they first came to town. But after I dug up some dirt, Stella vetoed the story. She said it wasn’t newsworthy enough to warrant getting into a lawsuit with the Beaumonts.
