Margaret looked at her watch after closing the piano lid. "It's still early," she said. "Would you ladies like to join me for a walk in the park?"
"I wouldn't if I were you," Penelope said. "It's like a family feud over there. Gavin and Greer are having it out. Some of the employees are siding with Gavin, while the werewolves and shapeshifters are on Greer's side."
"Oh?" Margaret asked, a glint in her eye. "It sounds like fun. I’m sorry I missed it."
"I think it was a spur of the moment thing," Lily explained, unsure whether Margaret knew about the VampirX implant Gavin had stolen from her shoulder, or that Lily and Greer had gone there to retrieve it.
Margaret looked intrigued. "Maybe I'll check it out." She pointed to Gavin's teddy bear on her way out the door. "Don't forget to return Mr. Pickles," she said gravely. "I can't stress it enough."
"We'll do it right now," Lily promised, waving her off.
