CHAPTER 35
Tylo no sooner got into her office than Gary walked in.
"Jackie was a wealth of information last night." He said.
"And your point is?"
"My point is did you know he was a widower and not divorced?"
"Yes."
"And when were you going to let me in on that secret?"
"There are no secrets." Tylo shot back.
"Did you also know that Veronica wants you desperately to be her 'new' Mommy?"
"Yes, she had said something, but I explained that I could never take her mother's place."
"Tylo, what the hell is going on with you and your neighbors?" He asked point blank.
"Nothing. Why?"
"One minute you have given up on him, the next you're spending the weekend with him. I just don't want you getting hurt."
"That's touching. But you don't have to worry about that. I'm sure after last night, if anything was going to happen it isn't anymore."
"Meaning."
"Jackie didn't tell you, we ran into Janet last night and she dropped the bomb."
"She had mentioned that Janet was there. But didn't pay attention to the grown ups."
"Well, rest assured big brother, after she was introduced to Frank and Veronica, she rambled on how happy she was for me. Ending with finding someone who had a kid because I can't have any."
"No! Tell me the bitch didn't!"
"Oh yeah, so whatever was beginning between Frank and myself, probably ended last night."
"Did you talk to him?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because he doesn't need to hear my sob stories. It doesn't matter by the time we got home last night his demur changed."
"How?"
"Let's just say during the weekend, he was making subtle moves, at the end of last night it was a polite gesture."
"I'm sorry Tylo." He got up and hugged his sister.
She was all choked up but said, "It's okay, and life goes on."
Frank walked in the 'nest' to a "Welcome Back" party, including banners and steamers.
"Good Morning." He said.
"Morning Boss, glad you're back." Cody said.
Jake said, "We tried to get you all weekend, but your cell was on voicemail."
"Veronica and I went away for the weekend."
"Had a nice time you two?" Alex asked.
"Yeah. My neighbor was babysitting her brother's kids; one of the girls is about the same age as Veronica. They hit it off well."
"The dorky neighbor?" Cody asked.
"Yeah, that one. But don't let looks deceive you. Anyway was on tap."
"We got a new case in on Friday. The Chicago PD turned it over to us. The Stalker Serial Killer case." Jake said.
"Get anywhere with it?"
"No, we got it late Friday. We are going to work it today."
"Ok, give me a report and we'll go from there." Frank said as he went up to his office.
