    *Easing my truck into the garage, putting it in park shutting the truck off. Seeing Barbie's SUV in the garage tells me she's not going to the GA meeting. I walk into the laundry room door calling her name. There was no return response. I walk through the house looking for her not seeing her downstairs so I go upstairs to our bedroom. Barbie is sitting at her dressing table in her bra and panties applying makeup.*

    There ya are Baby, didn't you hear me calling you. Gettin ready for the meeting?


    * Our eyes meet in the reflection of the dressing mirror.*

    * I heard Gordon from the time he pulled into the garage, I purposely didn't answer him. I wanted him to find me. I think it's time to end the charade of me going to the tie dyed hippie church for my so called gambling problem. I see his eyes meet mine in the mirror I turn to face him.*

    Hey Daddy you need to sit down I have something I want you to tell you, but I need you to let me have my say before you answer. Can you do this for me?

    *I sink onto the bed thoughts racing through my mind I want to say something but I want to respect her request so I hold my tongue. I nod my head yes and watch her face to see if it reveals any clues.*

    *I stare into his eyes taking a deep breath letting it out slowly. I place my hands in my lap. I gather my thoughts trying to piece them together.*

    Daddy darlin understand I did not lie to you, I just left out the real reason I was in Shreveport. I stayed at one of the casinos making you think I was there to gamble and blow off some steam. The whole time I was there I maybe put fifty dollars into the machines. The money you thought I gambled away I gave to a pack of weres from Tennessee to figure out what really happened to Debbie. I hate to admit it but they didn't find out anything other than the Sheriff of Area 5 is involved with Sookie Stackhouse.

    *I shake my head looking at the floor feeling like failed Debbie and my husband. I mumble to myself more than him.*

    I know Debbie is dead I feel it deep deep inside of me, like a part of me died. I let her down and you as well not finding out anything, those damn scroungy weres taking my money and not doing what I paid them for.

    *I try to quickly process what Barbie just said. She feels that Debbie is dead and she doesn't have a gambling problem. I run my hand over my head ruffling the small patch of hair that is stubbornly hanging in. I let out a prolonged sigh.*


    Baby why do you think Debbie is no longer alive? You don't have a addiction to gaming so my weekly poker game is safe, I wondered if I had to give up my spot to that jackwagon L. C. Miller. I love you and would give it up in a heartbeat but besides golf its my only outlet.

    *I shake my head trying to get the right words together to tell her I am not upset with everything.*

    Who was the Tennessee Pack? Tell me names I will take care of this.

    *Gordon's calm acceptance of what I said was more disquieting if he yelled and ranted. I had prepared for this to go badly not him wanting to fix all my mistakes. I walk over to sit in his lap placing my left arm over his shoulders. I place my forehead against his and say a small voice above a whisper.*

    Daddy I am not worried about those weres, they are mercenaries, time will catch up to them. I would have never asked for you to give up your poker game, I know it's your bonding time with boys. A mother knows if their children hurt, we feel the pain they do, I feel Debbie's pain Gordon, I hear her howls of pain and rage deep inside me. I know she's gone because she wouldn't worry us like this. I am sure that woman Sookie Stackhouse that Alcide flaunted all over Jackson had something to do with her death.

    *I place a quick kiss on his lips, making a move to stand Gordon helped me off his lap, I walk to the closet opening the door pulling a spring print dress off a hanger and picking up a pair of pumps, I carry them to the bed quickly slipping on the dress and sliding my feet into the shoes. I feel Gordon's eyes on me as I dress. I look at him smiling saying.*

    Daddy dearest I didn't thaw out anything for dinner, would you mind going out to eat? I was thinking that steak resturant you love so much. I just love their citrus salmon. All I need to do is grab my purse and I will be ready. Unless you are too tired and want me to throw something together?

    * I smile at how Barbie's ploy to eat out.*


    Baby we can eat whereever you want. If salmon is what you want that's what you shall get.


    *Barbie and I go downstairs she grabs her purse off the table in the entryway and we head out to her SUV, I open the drivers door for to get in closing it after her. I walk around the back of the vehicle and get in on the passengers side. Barbie starts teh vehicle and presses the button to open the garage door. We head towards the steakhouse resturant.*
