Prologue
"If I had been smart, I never would of left her alone that night. It nearly cost Miss Hartford her life." -Spencer
Date: July 24, 2008(The day before Mack and Andrew had left)
Place: Hartford Estate
"Look. I don't know if this is such a good idea. You aren't known for staying out of Spencer's way in the kitchen." Andrew Hartford told his seventeen year old daughter, Hailey. He was in the middle of packing for a weekend excursion. "Besides, I don't like the idea of leaving you here alone this soon after Alex's death."
"Dad, I'll be fine. You and Mack go on. If I run into any problems I will either call Tyzonn or ask Rose and Ronny to stay over." Hailey told him as her older brother walked into the room. "Mack, would you please tell Dad I'll be fine?"
Mackenzie Hartford looked from his father to his sister and said, "Dad, she'll be fine. I was going to ask Spencer to stay in the mansion with her instead of leaving for the night like he usually does." He noticed the look his sister shot him and promptly added, "Sorry, sis but I have to agree with Dad on this one."
Hailey shot him a nasty look and said, "You are no help at all." She sucked in her breath as Spencer entered the room. She quickly approached him and said, "Spencer, please tell me you are busy every night this weekend."
"Come to think of it..I am." Spencer said and this got a grin from the White Ranger. This only lasted a few seconds because he immediately added, "I'll be here just in case you need me. Master Mack already spoke with me about him and your father's weekend excursion."
"This is crazy. I'm not a child!" She cried, in a frustrated manner. She crossed her arms across her chest as her father approached her.
"Look, Honey. I just don't want anything happening to you. Okay? For the most part, Spencer will stay out of sight this weekend, okay? At night anyway." Andrew said soothingly as he pulled his daughter into his arms for a tight hug.
Hailey sighed and then dropped her arms so she could return the embrace with her father. "Okay. Just as long as I get my privacy." She glanced over in the butler's direction.
Raising his right hand in the boy scout salute, he said, "Scout's honor, Miss." This got all of the Hartfords laughing and the men went to finish packing.
About an hour later, the men finished and the entire household went to bed for the night. Their was a lot to do in the morning and Mack was hoping Ronny would come over to see them off. He had something special to talk to her about.
