What does this have to do with the conversation?
“There was a whole stack of bottles. The label looked pretty fancy, and I didn’t recognize it from the club bar.”
We keep that bar well stocked with a good selection of alcohol in various price ranges, but we do like to drink the good stuff. Creed has helped me do inventory a time or two.
“So, I looked it up. Each of those bottles was over ten thousand dollars. And they were drinking them on a random weekday without blinking. I don’t think jewelry is what she’s looking for. Greer seemed really hurt.”
Now I feel like a louse.
“You just need to apologize. But not one of those I’m sort of sorry things. A real one. The way you taught me.”
“How did you get so smart?”
“Bishop taught me.” Creed grins.

The dishes are done, Creed is at school, and there hasn’t been one fire at the clubhouse that needs my attention, I can finally get that nap.
As I climb into bed, my security alarm chimes.
What now? I flip it onto the television.
The company isn’t for me. Greer has another car standing in front of her house. This one isn’t as expensive as the others. It looks more like a hired limo than a private car. The driver steps out in a funny hat and suit. Definitely someone who’s trying to pretend to be rich compared to the women yesterday.
The man who steps out is well dressed with an air about him that I just don’t trust. He’s carrying a fancy leather folder while the driver gives him a larger briefcase.
Who could this be?
Greer greets him at the door and ushers him in with a smile.
Odd.
Very odd.

What is with today? I push myself up and turn on the security feeds. There’s another car in front of Greer’s house. This time it’s two women carrying several vases of flowers and leather-bound folders.
How long are these two going to be here? If I end up staring at the screen for another hour, I’m going to lose my mind
***
Not again. Seriously, I’m going to develop alarm fatigue. Who is it now?
Two men in suits.
Their car is also likely rented.
What is she doing over there?
Curiosity is killing me.
Is there an angle where one of the security cameras might be able to see inside her house?
And I’ve officially lost it.
