19. Inappropriate > When I picked up Jessie from her daycare and headed home, I planned to spend my time in peace. Little did I realize it would turn out to be an adventurous evening with a little sprinkle of annoyance. I am busy in the kitchen when I get a call from Jonas. “Can you meet me at Neon Oasis?” “No, I have a child to take care of, Jonas.” I sneer at him. “I have a lead that can help us with our meeting with Callum tomorrow,” he says in exasperation. His statement makes me pause and I glance back at Jessie. She is immersed in playing with her train set. “How did you manage that?” Sometimes Jonas pulls off the unexpected. “No time to ask. I am going there with Patterson. Can you come?” “f**k,” I mutter. “Are you sure it’s good enough?” “Believe me for once, Uncle!”
