feeling a bit nervous about what the doctor said about his suspicions, but there was no way he knew it was her. As she danced with Brandon, Lea, and Tommy, enjoying their happiness and smiling faces, she knew it had been worth the risk. Plus, the money she had gotten off the drug dealers was more than she had thought. After paying off some of the tenants’ rents for the next six months and getting gift cards for groceries for them, she was still in decent shape with twenty thousand dollars left over. Today she would add money to the kids’ savings accounts.
    She made them settle down to eat breakfast, and afterwards they were all still excited, even as they got ready for school. She got them on the bus outside of the apartment then headed upstairs to help her aunt and take care of Tommy.
    Melissa settled her aunt down on the couch before listening to her messages on the answering machine. Tommy remained watching children’s shows and drawing on his drawing pad.
    More bad news. The babysitter was sick and couldn’t watch the kids Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Melissa had to work. There was a big party Friday night and she had to bartend. Just then her cell phone rang. Celine.
    “Hey, how did everything work out? Is Aunt Peggy settled back in yet?” Celine asked. Her chipper mood could be felt through the phone. Melissa laughed.
    “Yes, she’s doing great.”
    “You sound funny. Is everything all right?”
    “My babysitter just bailed on me for this whole weekend. I have a party to do Friday, and I’m scheduled to work Saturday and Sunday.”
    “I can come over if your aunt won’t mind another three kids. Plus they adore Lea. She is so mature and such a good babysitter. She may be able to do that for money in a couple of years.”
    “Don’t you have to work?”
    “Nope. I worked all week. Carl gave me off this weekend. I figured I would clean the apartment and maybe take the kids to the park with Brandon and Tommy if that was okay with you.”
    “Carl, huh? Since when did you start calling Mr. Baker Carl?”
    “Since he took me out for coffee and dessert after work Monday night.” Celine giggled.
    “Oh no. You’d better be careful. If things don’t work out, you’ll lose that job.”
    “Charlie didn’t fire you after you broke things off with Bret.”
    “Bret’s a complete asshole, and Charlie knows it. Jobs aren’t coming around easy these days. I would hate for you to lose it when you’re catching up with all the bills.”
    “He owns the club with him. Isn’t he like a partner or something?”
    Melissa laughed to herself. Celine knew how to run a conversation and steer it in her direction.
    “Like, not even a quarter of a partner.”
    “Oh well, I’ll be careful. What time do you need me Friday?”
    “Five o’clock okay?”
    “Sure. Warn Aunt Peggy about my babies. They have been a handful lately. I pass out the second my head hits the pillow at night.”
    “No worries, Celine. Besides, Lea will be here to help. She loves Zack, Kelly, and Zoey.”
    “Great. I will see you on Friday. Oh, I almost forgot.”
    “Forgot what?”
    “I was thinking.”
    “Oh, shit! Not a good thing at all.”
    “Cut it out, Mel, and hear what I have to say. I know this guy Paul.”
    “Oh no! You are not trying to set me up with someone are you?”
    “No, Mel. I was just going to tell you that this guy Paul said that he knows you. Apparently he worked with your brother-in-law for a few years in the narcotics division. He and I got to talking at the party I hosted last night, at the gig you got me. Anyway, he said he was in desperate need of a bartender for this new restaurant. It has a private room for meetings or something and they have their own bar there. His friend opened it about a year ago. I told him I don’t know how to tend bar but that my best friend bartends. He said that the position requires confidentiality. Apparently some heavy stuff is discussed in this bar.”
    “Sounds illegal to me,”
