I don’t know what caused her to go drinking in the middle of the day, but I will find out. One of the prospect’s Brad, who was bartending today, called to tell me that my employee was at the bar and had a situation with another club member, Tony. Thankfully nothing happened. I had Brad keep an eye on her so I could finish the outline of the piece I was working on.
On my way to the bar I called my sister to see if she could drop the girls off at my place later. Thank god she was able to. I don’t want to leave Sprite alone. I plan on taking her back to my place and putting her ass to bed. Then I am getting the answers I want.
I get Fi into bed in the spare bedroom just as Maggie pulls up with girls. How I missed them today. Maggie tells me they have already eaten so they just need their baths and bedtime bottle. I’ve been pretty lucky that girls sleep almost through the night. Maggie wants to know what happened at court today. I tell that Shawna never showed, didn’t comply with anything so the judge revoked her parental rights.
After Maggie leaves, I give the girls their baths and set them in their pack and play till bedtime. I go and check on Fi and she is still passed out. I head to the kitchen to make myself and Fi some dinner. I make Fi a plate and put it in the oven in case she wakes up. After I clean up the kitchen, and get the girls bottles ready and I go sit with my angels.
The girls have been sleeping for over an hour and Fi hasn’t moved any. I go to my home office and I search for all things Fiona Mackenzie. I want to know what caused her to drink herself stupid today. I know for damn sure it wasn’t that staff meeting. I don’t know much about her past, just that she is a single mother to two little boys and has gone back to school. It's time to find out more. I have this need to know more. She is a wildcard to me.
