Chapter 11
Snooping
Rosie smiled as she snuggled up to Max as they were sitting on the veranda alone.
"I have missed this so much" Max whispered as he played with a strand of Rosie's hair.
"What me or Leopards Den?" Rosie asked smiling as she looked up at Max with a grin making him laugh.
"Both" Max smiled before closing the gap and kissing her making her smile as she wrapped her hand around his neck and played with the hair at the back of his neck.
"Me too" Rosie smiled as Max smiled down at her neither of them seeing Danny standing by the stairs watching them with a smile on his face.
"Rosie?" Danny called making both Max and Rosie look up. "Ed's here, we think we have an injured lioness, it could be the cubs mum... we need to find it and I could use you out in the bush" Danny smiled as Rosie nodded her head before standing up and turning to Max.
"Stay here and relax" Rosie smiled as she quickly kissed him making Danny smile. "Don't over do things" Rosie smiled as she pulled away Danny smiled as he looked at Max.
"She is right don't over do it or you will just be making things worse for yourself" Danny smiled as he led Rosie down the stairs to the Jeep where Ed was sitting.
"Where was the lioness last spotted?" Rosie asked as she jumped in the back as Ed turned to her.
"The North watering hole" Ed replied as Danny got in the Jeep and the three drove away.
Max sighed as he watched the car disappear, being injured was boring... Everyone was busy the house was dead. Dup and Caroline had gone into Jo'Berg, Nomsa was in the township picking up a few things, Olivia was at the bar with Fatani... that still gave him the creeps. Fatani and Liv. Fatani was a good guy... it was just the age gap. Max sighed as he walked back into the house and collapsed on the couch in the front room and closed his eyes.
…...
Max opened his eyes sure he had just heard the front door open which confused him as he had only been asleep an hour no one was due back yet Max sat up just as someone walked quietly past the door Max recognised her straight away, it was Fiona Ed's wife. Max stood up and walked to the door to see where she was going his face frowning when he watched her go into the office, Max walked down to the door quietly and looked through the gap in the door that Fiona had left open and watched as she went through all the draws before stopping at the draw that Max knew Danny kept all the financial documents and contracts for Leopards Den.
Max frowned as he watched Fiona go through it all before smiling as she put it all back, Max quickly walked back to the front room and laid back down on the couch and closed his eyes as he heard Fiona's footsteps approach before hearing the front door open and close. As the door closed Max opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling before rolling his eyes, could there ever be a quiet and peaceful trip to Leopards Den. Max sighed before closing his eyes again and drifting back to sleep.
…...
Rosie smiled as she walked back into the house and seeing Max asleep on the couch, Rosie walked over to him and sat next to him before laying down and snuggling into him.
"Hmm that so had better be you Rosie" Max mumbled not opening his eyes but wrapping his arms around her making her laugh.
"No I'm Dup" Rosie laughed as she laid her head down on Max's chest and closing her eyes.
"Hmm, did you find the lioness?" Max whispered muzzling his head into Rosie's shoulder.
"No, we found some footprints but no lioness" Rosie sighed nuzzling Max's chest to get comfy.
"Sorry" Max whispered sadly as he kissed Rosie's shoulder making her sigh. "Question you know the top right hand draw in the office?" Max asked making Rosie pull away and look at Max in question. "Does your dad still keep all the deeds and financial documents in there?"
"Yeah why?" Rosie asked looking at Max questionably.
"Ed's wife Fiona was riffling through it about an hour ago, she didn't see me but she was up to something" Max replied as Rosie sat up and looked at Max in shock before shaking her head.
"I knew there was a reason we didn't trust her" Rosie sighed before laying back on Max. "We have to tell dad and Dup but we should wait... Ed's still with dad at the hospital" Rosie sighed before shaking her head and looking Max in the eye. "Why cant things go right for this family" Rosie sighed sadly. "One thing starts to go right everything else falls apart"
"I promise everything is going to be ok! We are all going to get through this" Max stated looking Rosie in the eye before kissing her soundly making all her worries melt for a little while.
