“Mylea I just heard,” David Langtree entered Mylea’s office. “Are you Okay?”
“Yeah, I’m okay,” Mylea said, “and she’s not really missing. That’s for the world. Last I heard is that she was in a little burg called West Jefferson. There a Black Guard unit that has her under observation. She’s made contact with the first group of kids.”
“You guys played that one close to the vest.” Langtree said his feelings a little hurt.
“Not me David,” Mylea said with a flash of anger, she really wasn’t okay with what her daughter was up to. It was just that she couldn’t do much about it without screwing things up for Lady Hawthorne or her daughter for that matter. “She didn’t even tell Jill what she was planning.”
“I see,” David said, “So do you want me to hold her when she gets back so you can spank her or do you want to handle her all by your lonesome.”
She just glared at him.
“Of course,” he continued looking at his finger nails, “if she pulls this off, and since it was mostly her plan in the first place, you’ll be spanking a hero.”
She glared at him again then began to laugh, “Well I’ve taught her how to get things done, and what it means to be responsible.”
“Not just that lady,” David said, “you taught her, by your example that when something needs to be done, that if she can help she should. She’s only following in her old lady’s footsteps.”
“I don’t want her to be a cop David,” Mylea said, “It’s an honorable profession, but it can bring so much heart ache and crap to deal with.”
“I know lady,” Langtree walked behind her desk hugged her briefly and said, “She’ll be okay. Mike’s troops do not want to see him on the war path. No harm will come to your little girl. You know you’ll be getting a young woman back.”
“No, she’ll still be my little girl,” Mylea said enjoying the embrace.
“I’ll see you later,” Langtree said leaving. Mylea wished he would have stayed a bit longer his arms felt entirely too comfortable around her.
