A.N. Hey KELLY!!!! Okay there's a couple jokes in here only your going to get such as the alien thing but anyway it will make sense to everyone else, no worries.
Chapter Fourteen: Frank Tobin
"I checked out Kathy Morningside again like you had asked." The head of surveillance said. I decided after last night's 'episode' I should check out Morningside again if for nothing else to prove I had faith in Grace. I also called Marie my secretary and asked her tell me the whole Grace and McGuire story. Apparently, Grace had never really liked McGuire. She thought he was a nerd or rather alien as she had put it. And the few dates they had been on were to public places with mutual friends accompanying them, in fact Grace had even PAID Marie to go on a date with them. After a while Grace got tired of stringing him along and had dropped him. The guy cried and told her he loved her but Grace never said it back or took him back. Marie went so far to say she despised him and never wanted to talk to him again. Which is why Grace took it so hard when I insinuated she was in love with him.
"Yeah anything?" I answer my colleague. We're unloading the SUV and carrying the stuff to the plane.
"Nothing, not even a traffic ticket. Model citizen, beauty contestant, pageant director, loving mom." He listed off her many attributes. Wait, mom?
"She's married?" I question, that's odd. Stuff like that never escapes my radar.
"Widow, one son." The guy answers. It's obvious his attention is not on me but rather on the many heavy bags he will have to carry.
"Sniveling, obsequious, excuse for a human being." Vic adds. That's weird, how does Vic know Kathy Morningside's son?
"You know her son?" Sometimes the direct approach is simply the best approach.
"So do you, it's Frank." Vic tells me and I go into a state of shock. Too many revelations too quick. First the citizen being captured, then the McGuire thing, now this.
"Frank, her assistant Frank?" I have to be sure we're talking about the same Frank. Apparently my colleague has the same thought and asks, "Asshole Frank?"
"One in the same." Vic says disdain for the man in question dripping off every word he says. My mind is reeling and I need to clarify my thoughts threw my words. I normally say what's on my mind anyway.
"That's weird she never mentioned anything. Anything come up on the CCH?" I ask worried that maybe Grace was right and now she's in danger because I choose my job over her.
"Nothing on Frank Tobin." My colleague informs me. He seems to be as confused as I am about this whole situation.
"Well, there wouldn't be would there? His name's Morningside, he changed it to cover his many indiscretions." Vic continued as if this were the most obvious thing in the world. I on the other had had enough.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute. How do you know that?" Enough was enough, if he was playin' me I needed to know right now. Because if he wasn't I needed to get back to Grace.
"I have been around this pageant for many years, I could shock you with the intimate details I'm privy to." Vic tells me, he is deadly serious and I realize what an ass I have been. I NEED to see Grace, right now.
