âDavis, when are you going to buy a car? Would you please buy a car? Who, in this day and age, doesnât own a car?â
Fantasy and I were on our way to Valet to do something we shouldnât have. After ignoring a bakerâs dozen text messages from Colleen in Bradleyâs officeâsix about Lost and Found, five about my ex-ex-mother-in-law, who shouldnât have even been there, another saying considering the scented circumstances at my home sheâd been made aware of, she could possibly move us to a single hotel room with two double beds on the fourth floor, but Housekeeping couldnât have it ready for at least an hour, plus a bonus text message in all caps that dinged in as I was reading the last one, the final one about the inoperable ovens at DanishâI was on the phone with July explaining that thereâd been a mishap at my home. I told her I was trying my hardest to locate Baby Oliverâs mother (not exactly true, because securing Elvis costumes wouldnât necessarily help find Megan Shaw, but all the alerts and alarms I had set up could, so technically, I was working hard to find her), and I couldnât get home because I had an errand to run. If I didnât run the errand, I wouldnât be able to work the Double Trouble banquet that night. If I couldnât work the banquet, Baylor wouldnât be able to sleep. (Preying on her emotions.) I asked July if she could possibly pick up Bex, Quinn, Baby Oliver, and Candy, who was, according to my mother, two interesting whiff the sneeze calf (a sneezing cat, who, given the new fertilizer circumstances, Iâd totally lost interest in) and keep everyone at her condo until she heard back from me. July said sheâd do her best. She knew about the Black Kow accident because sheâd stopped by my home a half hour earlier to check on Baby Oliver. Initially, sheâd hustled Bex, Quinn, Baby Oliver, Candy, Birdy, and the sneezing cat to the cavernous master closet of my bedroom, because all the air outside my closet was unbreathable. She was running back and forth from the closet to the cleanup. She said the fumes were overwhelming. Sheâd called Maintenance. Theyâd delivered three industrial fans, which meant opening all the exterior doors: patio, balcony, and veranda. The fans werenât helping much because they might have been exchanging indoor Black Kow air for outdoor Black Kow air, as there was so much Black Kow on the patio, balcony, and veranda. She didnât know if the heat was bringing in the chemicals or the chemicals were bringing in the heat, but they couldnât close the doors because of the living room carpet. A crew was on the way to rip up and replace the carpet for the second time in a single day, everyone was wearing disposable face masks and goggles, but she felt certain everything would be okay soon.
âInitially?â
âWhat?â July was panting.
âYou said initially.â
âInitially, what, Davis?â
âYou initially moved Bex, Quinn, the baby, Birdy, Candy, and the sneezing cat to my closet.
