Chapter 8 – Vancouver

Nessie chastised me as I drove her, Fran, and Tasha to Vancouver after spending some time with Zoey and the twins. “Face it June, you're not going to get to speak with them with Gatekeeper Z there. There are some things that even you can't do.”

I exhaled heavily in resignation. Besides her, only Zoey or Lizzy could derail me when I was determined to do something. I whined, “But did you hear them? And the other night? It was almost like listening to a mashup of Abigail Addison and Amber LaLanie.”

She nodded and shrugged. “Some things are not meant to be.”

I sighed, and Fran chuckled from the back seat.

I gave her the stink eye in the rear view mirror, which just made her smile. She turned to her sister. “Did you just tell June that something was...” She paused when Tasha bumped her shoulder and nudged her eyes toward me. Small Fry muttered, “Oh...” Then brightened and chided her sister, “You are so manipulative sis. You know telling June that she can’t so something will just make her...”

Vannie started chuckling and claimed my hand after she put her hand on my arm. I deflated a little knowing she was just checking to make sure I was there. Then I smiled at the sneaky minx. “Small Fry is right, you're manipulating me. You want them at London Harmony too.”

Van just smiled straight ahead, refusing to look at me as she murmured, “Maybe, maybe not. Shut up and drive wench.”

We all chuckled as I replayed in my head, the impromptu music that those two girls... what were their names? Leigh and Ash? Had been singing.

I had originally thought that the taller girl, Ashley, was deaf when I saw them signing to each other, but I learned that she couldn't speak because a dog attack when she was a toddler had mangled her throat. But her expressive face and the music she was making from the odds and ends in the kitchen, gave her a voice that just made Leigh's voice soar. They were a team, a single unit much like Minuette. And... I just had to sign them, Zoey be damned.

I paused at that thought, Annette from Minuette had a bit of anxiety like this Leigh girl, only not as severe. That and the fact that Annette and Mindy are constantly arguing that the other is Minuette caused us to create a mystique around the artist's duality and not reveal the identity of Minuette. Almost like I had done for myself when I first started releasing my own music as J8.

So maybe I could convince the girls to entertain signing with me if I could give them the same cloak of anonymity. I chuckled to myself. It was becoming a trend with London Harmony, and the music industry was eating it up.

Fran said from the back seat in a humor tinged tone, “Great, see what you did Van? Now she's plotting.”

I stabbed my finger at the rear view mirror
