Mom was even more tired than I thought. I guess not even she can escape being sleepy.“Hold on, let me get my shoes,” Alaina said, separating from ...im and kneeling down to pull a pair of sneakers from the nearby mat onto her feet. She started to lace them.“That lobster mac and cheese you made was great,” Will said.“You mean that we made,” Alaina said. She stood up.Will grinned at her. “Yes, Chef!”She snorted. “Don’t start that again.”He looked over her head into the sitting room. “Things are. Spoiled food and garbage were scattered around on the floor along with liquids that had a strong smell to them.Finally, there was a dead man lying on the floor under the chandelier of Magic-powered lamps. One of the lamps was also broken. It appeared that the dead man had been the one to break it, to his detriment. He had been dead for some time."This will take some cleaning up," I said."Yes, it appears that the others fled when this idiot managed to kill himself," Ken admitted."I guess it's. "Blossom put her lips close to his ear. "Nice try, Dad," she whispered. "But I saw right through you. Pick me up at seven. And it better be a nice dinner."As she went up the stairs to her room, Nick turned around and watched her go with a smile on his face. Well, he thought, I guess my act didn't work, but who cares? At least I won't be alone on Saturday night.Six was sitting cross-legged on the bed as Blossom pulled out outfit after outfit."What's the big deal, Blossom? You're only going out. That had been a near thing!"So when the taxi finally reached my apartment, the driver suddenly turns around and asks me if I enjoyed his story. Hell I hadn't heard one word - not really. I nodded politely and was about to get out. The cab driver got the weirdest damn smile that I ever saw and suddenly I felt something was about to go wrong, REALLY WRONG, like I usually do when I was in a meeting and somehow can sense some big sandbags were about to crush the top of my head. I was worried he was.
