Chapter 18

Clare had a secret passion that she never wanted to share with the women she led at Calvary Worship. She absolutely loved magazines. One of her secret dreams was to start her own fashion magazine, but with articles that would interest Christian women of color and uphold the values she knew most women with her beliefs held. Until that magazine was made Clare read a lot of mainstream magazines. She loved Oprah’s magazine O, of course, but read Essence as religiously as her Bible. Her secret passion was the other trashy magazines that told more lies than truths about Hollywood couples. The one she was reading now was making her blood boil. In the “couples alert” section of the tabloid she saw a picture of Lexie and Amari sharing a lunch and smiling at each other like lovebirds. Of course the caption only made her feel worse.

Is Lexie finding a father for her two orphans with a married NBA basketball star?

How could they print such garbage? Not only was Amari married, he was also a man of God, a man who had morals and a man who loved her daughter.

Clare knew Raven would be at the center. Clare decided to visit with Raven at the center. With the new renovations the place was becoming a bigger haven for children. Raven spent most of her time there, and since Amari left for L.A. Raven was also focused on the huge fundraising gala for the clinic in Kenya. Who could blame her? With a husband who spent more time on the road than at home the girl had to keep herself busy. Her advice to Raven was to have a baby straightaway, but she wanted to wait until after the latest changes to the center were completed.

Clare nearly had a heart attack when she saw the police cars outside the center.

“Oh, Jesus, let my baby be all right,” she said as she parked her white SUV awkwardly outside the center. When she opened the door she almost collapsed with relief when she saw Raven talking to the officers, her hands on her bewildered face.

“Mom,” Raven said, shaking her head.

“What’s wrong?” Clare asked, looking around.

“There was a robbery. I’m just giving a statement to the police.”

“Oh, no. What did they take?”

“All the computers and the karaoke machine. I don’t know what else is missing.” Raven waved her hands around. She was clearly in shock. But she was about to get into an even bigger shock.

“Give us a call if you remember anything else,” Officer Owens said, handing her a business card. Raven nodded, grateful for the officer’s kindness. When the police left Raven turned to Clare.

“Would you like some tea? I think they left the kettle,” she said and tried to smile. It had not been an easy week.

“You could do with a cup, too. This neighborhood is not safe anymore,” Clare said.

“I know. I hate to admit it, but I just knew it was a matter of time before they came and took something from us.
