Who's rattling Megan's cage?

'Peter did you-Lacey what are you doing here?'

As always Megan's presence as she struts in nine inch heels -that would put skyscrapers to shame-down the hallway seems to cause a major clearance as Curtis and Ethan not so subtlety run in the opposite direction kind of like animals in the wild that sense a predator.

Megan:'shouldn't you be with your grandmother?'

Peter:'eh I found her pacing outside so I decide to bring her up'

Megan:'thank you Peter thank God it was you instead of some stranger-Lacey how many times have I lectured you about wandering around the city by yourself'

Lacey: 'but mom grandma was making me fill out tax forms'

At this Megan gives Lacey a give- me- more look while mentally interrogating her mother.

Lacey:'for my business class,it's all relevant,please don't kill grandma'

Megan: 'Lacey I'm not going to kill my own mother,I just don't want to come home and find you doing court reform papers,you know just because she is not a judge anymore doesn't mean it's not in her blood'

Now it was Lacey's turn to give her mom the embarrassed look,as in did you just say that in front of your partner?look.

Lacey: 'anyway when I started talking in numbers I needed to get out of there'

Megan: 'was that the important message you had to tell me?'

'mom no why would I come here to tell you that?'

'yes why would you risk your life to come here to tell me that hmm I wonder? ok come on lets go into my office and leave Peter here to do some work ,which is you know kind of what I should be doing right now Lace,oh and Peter can you drop off those tox reports as soon as you get them please, thank you'

Peter: 'sure and Megan' she huffs in impatience but turns towards him 'go easy on her will you,she's a good kid'

Megan answers him with a sarcastic grin and a 'sure,maybe I'll leave her drive home too' as a response.

Peter walks away laughing to himself giving a moment of thought for the poor victim Megan was about cut up.

Megan: 'ok we are here which is a miracle in your case'

Lacey: 'oh come on Mom this place is one bus ride-'

'while I'm still calm Lacey'

Lacey looks around the office stalling 'hey is that a new statue-

'Lacey stop stalling'

Lacey prepares herself for battle the kind that she has only read in the history books.

'ok well remember that time Gran and I said we would completely remove your myspace page'

'oh you mean the dull Megan Hunt that you and your Grandmother created?'

'yeah but also don't forget because of us you met a really nice guy'

'it could have gone a completely different way and you know it Lacey,because of you're meddling I could have met a really charming serial-Lace why are you wincing?'

'oh Mom I'm so sorry,I just didn't have the heart to-'

'Lacey please tell me you deleted that profile' Lacey bows her head in defeat.

'what?Lacey are you kidding me?'
