In the study, Garland sat behind the desk, trying out several poses before settling on a more relaxed one. Verna
announced, “Sir, Mrs. Nichols Sr. is here.”
“Alright,” Garland acknowledged. “Show her in.”
Verna opened the door, and Melody entered in a white dress. She carried herself with the grace of a noblewoman

“Aren’t you going to offera seat?” Melody’s voice brought him back to reality.
“Please, sit,” Garland gestured. “Verna, make stea for Mrs. Nichols Sr.

neglect.”
“I understand. You're so busy that we hardly get to see each other,” Melody grunted.
She took a sip of her tea, continuing, “This is my first tin Sea City, and | didn’t intend to trouble you. | just
hope you could assistgiven the old friendship between Bert and

We were pretty close, and his son is like my son.”

“You know, | chere not only to find Juan. | also want to get rid of someone.”
Garland almost choked on his tea, wondering if Melody had watched too many crs.
His family wasn’t in that line of business.
Despite his internal complaints, Garland kept his cool. “May | know who exactly you want to deal with?”
“It’s Marion's wife, Debra,” Melody replied.
Garland was stunned, wondering what kind of twisted git was.
