Chapter Seven

After hearing the news that I would finally meet my grandmother for the first time I did what any normal girl would do … I went shopping. There wasn’t a single outfit in my closet that I could imagine wearing to meet her. After hours of shopping I decided on a simple blue floral dress and some cute cowboy boots. It screamed ‘I’m an innocent country girl, but I have issues’. I threw my bags on the bed and took a shower. After I was dressed I heard a knock. I prayed the entire walk to the door that it was Axle. I looked out and saw Dee-Dee smiling at me.

“Well howdy.” I opened the door and let her come in.

“How’s life treating you?” she greeted me.

“Like a red-headed step child,” I joked.

“Hmm, interesting word choice.” She chuckled.

“What can I do you for?” I asked as I walked into the kitchen to get a drink. I opened the fridge and realized I was out of beer so I settled on two Cokes.

“I just wanted to see how the investigation is going, I haven’t seen you or the hottie around lately.” She tried to play it off as simple conversation but I saw right through it.

I took a sip of my Coke and handed her the second bottle. She wore black leggings and a blue jean mini skirt. Her black vest was wrapped over a red t-shirt and her chucks matched. “You know I can’t tell you anything, right?”

“Oh yeah I was just wondering if there was any leads, that’s all.” She smiled sweetly. No matter how much I wanted to be skeptical about the girl I couldn’t help but like her.

“Nope, nothing new.” I should have asked Robert if it was okay to tell people what we learned, but since I didn’t know I felt it would be safer to keep quiet.

“Okeydokey, well …” She nodded as she looked for something else to talk about. “Oh, my boyfriend’s band is playing on Thursday night at The Nuclear Bar, I was wondering if you would like to go.”

“Yeah, that sounds great. Can I bring some friends and make it a girls’ night out?” I asked suddenly excited. Kimmy was the only girl friend I had ever had. Being able to go out with a group of girls sounded like a dream come true and I really wanted to get to know Riley some more.

“The more the merrier,” she replied.

“So how is your photography class going?” I asked.

“It was a bust, I’m not so good with a camera. Turns out there’s more than just point and shoot.”

“Oh, sorry to hear that. Did you have a new hobby in mind?” I finished my soda and walked over to recycle the bottle.

“Not really, I was thinking about singing. The equipment they have nowadays you don’t really have to be a good singer to sing. They can make your voice sound good, you just have to stand up on stage and look pretty.” She flashed me a brilliant smile as if she was practicing.
