Chapter Fifteen
The next morning, she woke up at her usual time for a workday. Her internal clock always woke her up before the sunrise. Of course, her cats also contributed to the early wake up calls. They were never content to let her sleep in. The only difference that day was that she didnât have to be in the office until after lunch. Since there were no camps over the weekend, and the game wasnât until later, she could take the morning off before spending the rest of the day at the park.
Her three cats looked at her while she puttered around the living room picking things up. The cats werenât used to seeing her in the middle of the day, and she felt like she was cutting into their all-important nap time. Her family liked to tease her about her three cats, but she felt a sense of responsibility after rescuing them and giving them a good home. If it made her a crazy cat lady, so be it.

While the police havenât made any arrests, through diligent investigative work I have found several members of the Abington team were known associates of Mr. Dailey and might have been part of a crime ring involving steroids with the victim. As always, I will keep ahead of this story and bring you news as it breaks. Jennifer Roberts, Channel 5 news, back to you, Steve.â
Madeline threw the remote at the TV, missing it by an inch. That woman was infuriating! What kind of information was she getting and from whom? This was the first time Madeline had heard about any of the Abington players being on the wrong side of the law, and the police sure as heck hadnât said anything yet.
She remembered talking to the team manager a few days ago and he was adamant that his guys were clean. Was that just about the steroids? Or were they possible secret gamblers instead?
