Chapter 12

Saturday, November 19 at 11:15 a.m.

Asia smiled at her brother-in-law when he opened the door. “You doing alright, bro? Looks like you could use some sleep.”

Bryan Powell rolled his eyes. “Our daughter is a sweetie-pie, but she does not sleep through the night like BJ. Come on in.”

She stepped inside. Asia had to admit she had her doubts about Bryan. She was amazed at how Jo and Bryan turned their marriage around. Then again, she shouldn’t have. Their parents’ almost forty-year marriage had survived an affair that resulted in her half-brother.

Asia walked past the kitchen and saw BJ munching on a bowl of cereal. “Are you being a good big brother?”

BJ grinned. “Hey, Aunt Asia. I’m a really good brother. Alisa isn’t being very nice though.”

She laughed, “Why is that?”

BJ held his hands up. “She won’t let anyone sleep.”

Bryan raised his eyebrow. “Umm, buddy, I think you slept way better than Mommy and me.”

“True, I did. But you and Mommy are not looking too good.”

Bryan laughed. “You might want to keep that to yourself. Don’t let Mommy hear that one.”

Asia grinned. “He’s being honest. Although I have to agree with your dad. You gotta take it a bit slow with some of your comments.”

She walked towards the back of the house where the nursery was located. Jo was dressing Alisa in a pink onesie with yellow dots.

Asia clasped her hands together, “That’s the outfit I bought her. She looks like a doll.”

Jo grinned. “I told her I sensed her auntie Asia would be over today so we needed to dress her up. You want to hold her?”

“Sure. I would love to.” Asia held out her arms. Her heart melted as she inhaled the baby’s sweetness.

“How are you doing?” Jo asked.

“Me? You’re the one who just delivered a seven-pound diva.”

“And you walked in on a… crime scene. Somebody finally got to Locklear, huh?”

Asia kissed her niece on the forehead. “Yeah. I shed a few tears for that joker. Nobody, not even Adam, deserved to go out like that.”

“You two had a special kind of relationship.”

“I wouldn’t call it special. He left an impact though. He’s not a person you forget.” Asia handed Alisa back to Jo. “I’m learning a lot about him after his death.”

Her sister looked at her. “Like what? You have that funny look on your face.”

“What funny look?”

“The one where something’s really bothering you, but you pretend like you’re all good.”

Asia rolled her eyes. Then she picked up one of the stuff animals from the nursery shelf. She held it in her arms. “You know how you told me when you had this gut feeling about a case?”

“Yeah, I’m sure you experienced it a few times. You know what’s needed for a case to make it to trial. You know how the other side is going to run the defense.”

“No, that’s different. That comes from knowing and interpreting the law. This is something else, more your area.” Asia took a deep breath. “I found Adam that night. I was there because he had something to tell me.
