Chapter 5

“I will not even ask,” Natasha said as she walked into Rita’s gallery. Rita looked up and smiled when she saw her.

“What are you doing here?” Rita asked, standing up.

“Well, I just went back to work and on my first day I closed a major deal. So, I was so happy about it, I decided to give myself a personal day off,” Natasha said as she walked towards Rita. The two hugged briefly before Rita looked over at her assistant.

“Keep an eye on things. I won’t be long,” she said before leading Rita to a room in the back.

“So, how’s Lydia doing? Is the treatment working?” Natasha asked as she sat down. Rita took a long deep breath as she poured two cups of coffee. She had transformed the room into her own little haven where she could get away from everything. She had a coffee maker set up, a table and a couch that sometimes (well, most of the time) doubled up as a bed. Rita sat down on the couch next to Natasha and smiled sadly.

“The first few days are usually the hardest. It will be at least another ten days before they allow me to even see her,” she said.

“Well, the important thing is that she is getting the help that she needs,” Natasha said with a smile.

“I know. But I just don’t get what would have driven her to substance abuse after all these years,” Rita said.

“Well, these things happen honey. Maybe she had a major stressor that pushed her to the edge,” Natasha said as she took a sip. Rita nodded.

“Thank God those guys from Seattle got to her in time,” she said. She then looked at Natasha and frowned. “I never really understood how they got to her in the first place,” she said, shaking her head.

“Well, like you, I believe she was there to meet up with...” her words trailed off when she realized what she was about to say. The subject of Rita’s biological father had always been a sensitive topic and Natasha more than anyone knew this. Rita smiled.

“It’s okay. You can say it. Don’t take my word for it, but I am a hundred percent sure that she was there to meet my dad,” she said, smiling sadly.

“Well, yeah, that, and when the Alzheimer’s got out of control, she happened to be at the store, probably buying something. Desiree, that’s the woman she mistook for you, must have walked up to her at the exact opportune moment,” Natasha said. She placed her hand on Rita’s and smiled. “She is in the best care facility,” she added. Rita shrugged.

“Care facility my ass. She is at a hospital,” she said.

“Well, she needs to get treatment and then she will be in the best care facility,” Natasha said, smiling. Rita looked at her best friend and smiled at her.

“I know you have absolutely no idea as far as this situation is concerned but I am happy that you’re trying,” she said.

“Well, what are friends for?” Natasha asked before taking another sip.
