CHAPTER 13
Tylo got up Sunday morning and retrieved her paper to read with coffee. She looked over and saw that Frank hadn't picked up his paper yet. She sat down on her back porch and started to read the paper when she saw the picture. It was the picture of her and Bradley taken the night before. Underneath the picture it read, "Tylo Williams, pictured with her multi- millionaire ex-husband Bradley Williams made an appearance at the charity ball held last night. This was her first appearance in over a year."
Great Tylo thought her picture is on front page of t the society news section. She hoped Frank didn't read that section of the paper.
Frank was scanning the sections of the Sunday paper when one caught his eye. It was the Society News Section and on the front page was Tylo's picture. He noticed she wasn't with the guy she had left with. Then he read the caption under the picture, that explains the corvette and diamond necklace he thought. Then went a step further and thought she really must have taken him to the cleaners. Frank knew his daughter and him had to stay very clear of Tylo.
All week Frank and his team had been busy compiling and sorting data on a case they made be called in on. Friday afternoon Frank got a call from his old boss at the FBI, it seemed that they needed his expertise as a negotiator. The daughter of a high profile senator had been kidnapped and he wanted Frank to handled the negotiations,
Frank called Mabel to watch Veronica for the weekend but she was unavailable, as he soon found out later everyone on his list was too. The only one he hadn't thought about asking was Tylo. Hell he didn't even have a way to get in touch with her. He thought that she would think he was a shithead for asking her to do it. Especially since he had chastised her for trying to help out the last time he was out of town. The other alternative is that he would have to take Veronica with him and put her in a hotel-babysitting program.
Tylo arrived home and started to pack for her weekend at the cottage. She had exhausted herself all week avoiding Frank and Veronica. That was a job in itself, but she was determined to keep her word. She wasn't expecting anyone so when the doorbell rang she was surprised.
She opened the door and Frank was standing there, "Hi Tylo."
"Hey, what do you need?" She asked him straightforward as if she knew he needed something.
"Have you had dinner yet?"
"Yes." She lied.
He looked at her and could tell she was lying to him, "You can exaggerate the truth with my daughter but not me."
Tylo became defensive, "Ok, you don't talk with me unless Veronica puts you in that position. I just can believe you would nonchalantly want to know if I had dinner yet."
"Actually, you are going to think I'm a shithead, but I need to go out of town and I can't get anyone to stay with Veronica."
"Let me get this straight, correct me if I wrong, you insulted me by saying I was using your daughter to get to you and to basically stay away from her. Now you're asking me to watch her because no one else can?"
Frank knew this was a bad idea and remained silent. Tylo went on to say, "I am going away for the weekend and even if I wasn't I would not do it."
Frank knew she was right, didn't say anything, and walked away. He would take Veronica with him.
As Frank walked away, Tylo shut the door, and leaned against it. She felt bad for saying no, but he brought it on himself. Tylo went upstairs to continuing packing.
Frank walked in the door and Veronica said, "Is she going to do it?"
"No, honey she has plans. So after supper, we'll have to get you packed."
