“You’re lucky, I’m a driver named Dylan.” Shane said clearly disappointed in her new role.

“Well that’s what you get for dressing like a guy.” Dana teased. “At least its better than cleaning toilets.” She turned to Helena. “Why couldn’t I be his personal assistant?”

“Hey I don’t make the rules. I just follow them.”

“It’s the accent isn’t it?”

“Anyway guys,” Bette interrupted the friendly banter,  “We have a videoconference for nine so we better get going.”

Bette walked in the house and threw her keys on the table near the door. Tina was in the kitchen preparing dinner. Christian was multitasking between homework, watching television and singing along to music he was listening to. “Hey babe.” She said gently touching Tina’s lips. “Hey buddy.” She said to Christian.

“Hi Bette.” She said barely raising his head from his books.

“Hey yourself. How was your day?” Tina asked checking on the lamb in the oven and stirring the fettuccine.

“Don’t ask.” Bette leaned back on the counter watching Tina’s every move.

“That bad?” Tina moved toward Bette. “Babe.” She indicated to Bette that she was in her way.

Bette moved to the other side to give Tina access to the cupboard where the colander was. “I have to go undercover.”

“What? Undercover?”

“As a personal trainer for the wife of Franklin Phillips.”

“Franklin Phillips? The guy on the Board of the CAC?”

“Yeah.” Bette moved closer to Tina and whispered jokingly. “He’s a spy.” She stepped back. “Anyway” She continued in her normal tone, “We have to go undercover for however long it takes us to get what we need from him.”

“You ever done this before? Go undercover?” Tina asked handing Bette the bowl of pasta. She followed her carrying the chicken to the table. “Wash up Chris, dinner’s ready.”

“Sure mom.” He went to the kitchen to wash his hands. When her was done he took the juice from the refrigerator and took it to the table.

“Not really. I mean local police usually does the undercover stuff, but this is a little different. Anyway,” Bette nodded in Christian’s way as he sat at the table.

Tina went for the salad before sitting at the table with her family for dinner. The conversation during dinner was light and mostly about Christian and school and Tina’s day at work. After dinner Christian cleared the table while Bette and Tina tidied the kitchen and talked. “Saturday?” Bette asked.
