Wedding Contest Round 1 (cont)
Karen: Your mother? Your mother! I am not going to let your mother overshadow our wedding!
Well, it seemed we hit a sensitive spot. I decided to shift the conversation.
Fury: What about your mother, Miss Bradford? Will she be having any input into our plans?
Tyler: Karen, that’s a wonderful idea! Wouldn’t you like to invite your family to the wedding?
Karen: No. How can you even suggest such a thing?
Fury: Well, of course, whatever you…
Tyler: Oh, come on Karen. I’ve never even met your family. They should be at the wedding.
Karen seemed enraged, then suddenly she was crying. She rushed out of the room and Tyler chased after her. As he dashed away a piece of paper fluttered out of his pocket. I picked it up and glanced at it, thinking it might be wedding plans.
It was a list of private investigators he was thinking of hiring to find Karen’s family! I decided to go after him immediately. However, there was a surprise waiting in the hall. Or should I say, lurking, with its ear against the door.
Fury: Hello, let me introduce myself. I’m Fury Hansov, wedding planning extraordinaire.
Woman: And I am Delilah Grubb Addisson, wife of the late Tyler Addisson II, and mother of Tyler Addisson III.
That’s a bit long, so I’ll just call her The Witch.
The Witch: So, you’re the wedding planner. Could you give me a hint about the plans? I’ll bet that peasant…pleasant, dear Karen wants everything done in blue.
Fury: She does indeed. I have all the notes safely tucked away in my pocket.
Much to my surprise The Witch frisked me (so rude!) and took the notes. As she marched away I heard her calling her secretary, ordering her to make copies of my confidential data. The witch!
I was faced with quite a dilemma. I couldn’t take care of so many things at once.
Fury: Lark, I must find Tyler and Karen and tell them what Tyler’s mother just did. However, I also must get rid of this list of detectives. If Tyler sees me with it, he may think I was spying on him. Take this list and shred it.
I rushed after Tyler and Karen, confident that everything would soon be under control.
Lark: Hello, Pleasantview Private Investigations? I’d like to find someone.
