Chapter 11

.

On Sunday Greenlee visited her father Jack in the hospital. He was doing okay, considering his wound and the fact that his niece had been murdered.

.

Jack: How was the service yesterday?

Greenlee: As well as can be expected. I hear they're letting you out for Ryan's service on Tuesday.

Jack: Yeah, I want to be there for you. And I'll be able to say goodbye to Bianca on Saturday.

Greenlee: Reggie and Lily will be here for that.

Jack: Good. If you need anything, we're all here for you.

Greenlee: Thank you.

.

Jack noticed that Greenlee kept her eye on the door.

.

Jack: Do you need to be somewhere?

Greenlee: Not yet. Later I'm taking Emma over to Kendall's. I think it helps her to be around other kids who know what she's going through.

Jack: That's thoughtful. Is that why you keep eying the door?

Greenlee: No. It's just, this is embarassing. I just want to always know where the exits are. I'm just a little jumpy these days.

Jack: That's understandable. Don't be ashamed to be cautious, especially with Emma.

Greenlee: Yeah. I'm the closest thing that girl has to a parent right now, sad as that may be. I have to stay safe and protect that little girl.
