Chapter 11

“Ms. Willows, would you and Daniela join me in my office, please?”

Max and Dani shared a look and followed Principal Glick. They’d spent the night before devising a story with Agent Frost, one they hoped would counteract whatever rumors were floating around.

“Good Morning, Ray,” Max said as the women claimed the visitor’s chairs, “how was your weekend?”

Principal Glick dropped into his chair with a grunt. He stared at Max and Dani, scrutinizing each as if trying to discover what secrets the women kept.

“It’s come to my attention that there may be something unsavory going on in your home, Ms. Willows. As the Principal of this school, it is my duty to see that my students are safe and comfortable.”

Max raised her eyebrow at the man’s superior tone. “And what unsavory things are supposedly going on in my home, Mr. Glick?” she asked, crossing her arms over her chest as she stared the man down.

Principal Glick shifted his gaze to Dani, who was pretending to be engrossed in her phone. “Let’s just say there are some here who are saying that you and Daniela are more than just mother and daughter,” he said, trying to sound less than accusatory.

“I see,” Max said flatly, “and what exactly is being said?”

Principal Glick shifted uncomfortably in his seat. “It, uh,” he started, a blush beginning to creep over his thick cheeks, “it’s been suggested to me that you two are engaging in an incestuous sexual relationship.”

“What?” Max bellowed, bolting out of the chair like her ass was on fire. “Who the hell is making such outrageous claims?”

Principal Glick seemed to shrink away from Max. “I’m sorry,” he said, his voice slightly wobbly, “I can’t tell you who the source is. I was told in confidence.”

“Bullshit,” Max spat as she leaned across the man’s desk and met him eye to eye, “I have every right to face my accuser. Either tell me who it is, or I will sue the hell out of you for slander. This isn’t something small, like allowing Daniela to stay out past curfew. I’m being accused of a crime, and I want to know who is making the accusation!”

Dani looked up to gauge the man’s reaction. His color had fled and there was a fine sheen of sweat across his balding forehead. His eyes refused to meet Max’s and his hands were suddenly incapable to remaining still.

“Principal Glick, did you know that a person in your position could be terminated without notice for making a lewd comment about someone who is under the age of eighteen?” she asked, distracting the man.

Max looked over her shoulder at Dani and narrowed her eyes in warning. What are you doing?

Principal Glick looked confused. “What does that…”

Dani waved off his question. “‘Fuck, she’s got a nice ass. If she was eighteen, I’d take her for a ride she’d never forget’,” she said, repeating his comment from the previous week.

Principal Glick’s face turned ashen. “Where,” he gulped and licked his suddenly dry lips, “where
